      Foreign correspondents serve foreign news audiences and editors who want engaging, relatable narratives, but this challenges reporters who are still unfamiliar with the territory and local point of view. The panel brings together a foreign correspondent, local reporter and veteran of the trade to examine cultural bias in reporting, discuss the growing number of "foreign" correspondents of Asian ancestry and provide tools you can use to broaden your story's perspective. Moderator: Richard C. Paddock
