the host of BBC's TV documentary Peschardt's People and the former BBC foreign correspondent in Australia:
> the more you travel, it's so easy to take it all for granted
> he became a journalist … with the naive idea that 'he could change the world'. That was then ...
> today's journalism: chase google hits to see who is most searched on a given day, then write an article on those people using recycled stories … and voila, you've got a successful story!
> established media has a role to make sense of everything there is out there
> twitters are like TV reporters … there is absolutely no filter, like there is with traditional press where you have editors, sub-editors, etc
> Asia is massively under-reported on international TV networks
> although Asian countries have to also learn to engage with Western media
> young people don't watch TV anymore … thus they receive news from other sources and not the traditional ones
> you don't want to get an opportunity when you're not ready for it
> the world is not enough organized for there to be a massive conspiracy
> there is a pre-disposition to not trust the traditional media … which is a challenge
