Current, past AP correspondents to discuss changes in international reporting environment, March 29

In less than a week, the International Correspondents Committee will host an evening panel discussion on changes in the foreign reporting environment.

The Tuesday, March 29, event will run from 6:30 p.m.-8:00 p.m. in the Holeman Lounge. Tickets for the event are free for club members and $10 for the general public.

Headlining the panel will be Giovanna Dell'Orto, a former AP newswoman and current associate professor of journalism at the University of Minnesota, who has written a new book, "AP Foreign Correspondents in Action." The book delves into what it takes to report and publish some of the world's most important stories, particularly during times of shifting international relations, and the increasing hurdles, both physical and financial, in covering such critical topics as conflict and disaster.

In her research for this book, Dell'Orto interviewed 61 correspondents with experience covering everything from World War II and the Syrian civil war to the 2011 earthquake, tsunami, and the nuclear reactor meltdown in Japan.

Joining Dell'Orto on the panel to discuss today's international wire reporting environment, the practices and ideals of foreign correspondents, and the impact on journalism of U.S. foreign policy are:

• Matthew Pennington, AP reporter covering Asia-related foreign policy.

• Jordan Tama, assistant professor of international relations at American University's School of International Service

• Myron Belkind,journalism instructor at George Washington University, retired longtime AP foreign correspondent and former National Press Club president. He will moderate the discussion.
