Reporting live: Kiwi journos working in Asia


A Pakistan airlines crash in Karachi, claiming nearly 100 lives, a million people protesting on the streets of Hong Kong.

These are the stories Kiwi journalists find themselves covering when they venture to Asian newsrooms, and recently, two reporters shared their experiences at the digital Festival for the Future.

Pakistan-based Reuters journalist Charlotte Greenfield and Hong Kong-based CNN digital news producer Julia Hollingsworth sat down via Zoom with Shilo Kino to talk about the challenges, opportunities and quirks of reporting from Asia.
