      When journalists in both China and the United States face pressure to become mouthpieces for their respective governments, who is left to tell the full story of US-Asia relations? This session confronts one of the most complex and politically charged beats in international journalism. Panelists will unpack the underlying geopolitical and economic trends driving US-Asia tensions, examine how the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are reshaping the regional balance of power, and grapple with the growing threat to editorial independence on both sides of the Pacific.

      This year, we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of AAJA's Asia chapter — a milestone that calls for both reflection and a forward-looking conversation.

      In the first half of this special session, we have invited former AAJA-Asia presidents to look back on their journey: why they joined AAJA in the first place, what role the association has played in their careers, what sets AAJA apart from other journalism networks, and a defining memory from their time leading the chapter.

      In the second half, AAJA leaders will share their vision for the future — how they are navigating the industry's challenges within their own organizations, and what a community like AAJA can and should do to better support journalists: helping them stay relevant, grow their careers, and weather an increasingly turbulent profession.
