"Coverage of Asia" panel
Jung Sook Koh, producer, Asian America; Nicholas Kristof, senior writer, The New York Times; Amitav Ghosh, author, The Glass Palace

Sreenath Sreenivasan: "The continuing misperceptions about Asia are often the result of the coverage — or the lack it — by the media. In past shows, Asian American has put American editors on the spot, discussing how the media works.

With me to continue our series of panels about journalism are two correspondents with extensive experience on the ground covering one of the most dynamic regions in the world.

Nicholas D. Kristof is senior writer at The New York Times and former China and Japan bureau chief for the paper. He is author, most recently, of "Thunder from the East: Portrait of a Rising Asia" co-written by his wife, journalist Sheryl WuDunn. In 1989, the couple became the first husband-and-wife team to win a joint Pulitzer Prize, for their reporting on the Tianenmen Square uprising in Beijing.

Amitav Ghosh is a reporter at large for The New Yorker who reported from Cambodia and India. He is also a well-known writer of fiction. His latest novel, The Glass Palace, is set in Burma. He was a finalist for the National Magazine Awards for his reporting in The New Yorker about India's nuclear bombs."
