2011 Korea-United States Journalists Exchange
Theme: Bridging the Gaps in Understanding between Korea and the United States: Threats and Alliances on the Korean Peninsula
With recent threats of war on the Korean peninsula, the 7th Korea-United States Journalists Exchange program will look at security challenges in the region, the U.S.-South Korea military alliance and other aspects of the bilateral relationship, and the relations between South Korea and its neighboring countries–China and Japan.
The program will send six to eight Korean journalists to the United States and six to eight U.S. journalists to South Korea to meet with government and business leaders, academics, non-governmental organizations and other members of the community. The journalists will explore issues pertinent to the threat and alliance on the Korean peninsula, as well as examine overall U.S.-Korea relations including political, economic and environmental issues and technology. Following these study tours, the Korean and American journalists will meet at the East-West Center in Honolulu to report on their experiences and to exchange opinions on how media coverage may be improved in the participants’ respective countries.
