Joseph Kahn, who leaves the Times' Beijing bureau, talks to
Tom Scocca about US papers getting out of the foreign-coverage business. The loss of those jobs, he says, has been offset by the growth of the wires, particularly the financial wires. Bloomberg and Reuters have dozens of reporters covering Chinese business. "Now, if you've got some language skill and some talent as a reporter, you can probably start on the wires more easily," says Kahn. ||
Times memo: Joe Kahn and
Ian Fisher named deputy foreign editors.
