ABC Asia Pacific news bulletins are compiled in Melbourne specifically for a regional audience with stories from ABC bureaus in Australia and overseas and from the agencies, APTV and Reuters.

In addition, the service has several Current Affairs programmes -
i.e. Asia Focus (also seen on the domestic service) and, for the
past two years, The Editors. Recently the Australian Government
renewed ABC Asia Pacific~Rs contract for a further five years and
consequently the service is planning to expand both its News and
Current Affairs output. It plans more news bulletins, including more
frequent updates, and a new Current Affairs programme, tailored for
the Asia Pacific. Hence the need for an extra correspondent in India
to work out the ABC’s New Delhi Bureau. We are looking at employing
a local journalist with on-air television experience, a high level
of journalistic and television presentation skills and the capacity
to report and analyse in English events and issues in South Asia
objectively for a wider audience. Camera operating skills are also
an asset. Replies to - David Ransom ABC Asia Pacific Tel 612

Program Summary:

Baby busts and aging booms, more women joining the work force and more
young adults looking for jobs, globalization and urbanization reshaping
traditional cultures and family roles: dynamic forces such as these are
changing the face and future of the Asia Pacific and creating new economic
and social challenges in the region.

The “aging” of nations is occurring throughout Asia, especially in East
Asian countries that are starting to see population declines. Japan, where
more women are postponing marriage or remaining single, will soon have the
world’s oldest population. This requires new policies to meet the needs of
the elderly and maintain economic growth, issues receiving more attention
in the United States as well. At the same time, while women throughout
Asia are having fewer babies, populations in parts of the region will
continue to grow for many years, especially in South Asia. India alone is
projected to contribute 37 percent of Asia’s population growth between
2000 and 2050. Adolescents and young adults in a number of countries,
including Thailand, are making up larger percentages of the populations,
creating increased demands for jobs and forcing more people into cities to
find them. Globalization and other pressures on cultures and families have
led to shifting attitudes toward gender relations, marriage and family
life.

In presentations to one another and in sessions with East-West Center and
other Honolulu-based experts, Jefferson Fellows will discuss a wide range
of demographic and social issues facing countries throughout the Asia
Pacific region and in the United States. In a 21-day study tour, Fellows
will visit Japan, Thailand and India — three democratic nations
experiencing varying stages of economic development and population
transition — to explore each country’s unique set of challenges and how
they are being met by policymakers and the larger societies. Issues will
be examined within the greater context of economics, politics, security,
religion and culture.

Covering Globalization

A special program sponsored by the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and the Initiative for Policy Dialogue.

March 30-April 2, 2006

Nobel Laureate Joseph Stiglitz will again lead a four-day seminar for journalists on “Covering Globalization” at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. To ensure that American journalists give this enduring and crucial issue the coverage it deserves, the Journalism School has decided to underwrite fellowships to cover conference fees for 10 journalists working for U.S. news organizations. The fellowship will provide a $750 conference credit towards the $1,000 fee. It does not include lodging and travel costs.

This four-day seminar, which will be held at the school is designed to help strengthen the economic literacy of working journalists and to better equip them to produce knowledgeable and accurate work about global economic issues in a fast-changing world. Journalists will learn about the different elements of globalization — including labor issues, free trade, financial crises and bailouts — from the experts.

Academics, World Bank officials, NGO and corporate representatives will offer practical training sessions. Journalists, experienced in covering these issues, will help facilitate the discussions. The agenda features a number of prominent Columbia faculty members, including Earth Institute Director Jeffrey Sachs.

The conference fee for individual reporters paying their own way is $1,000. The U.S.$1,000 seminar fee includes all seminar materials, plus breakfast and lunch each day and one group dinner. This does not include lodging and travel costs. Applications from journalists working for news organizations other than those based in the U.S. are of course encouraged. International journalists are responsible for all costs. They are not eligible for this particular fellowship, but may be eligible for other kinds of conference aid.
