概要：As students Chris Raphael, Jason Felch and lecturer Sandy Tolan drifted quietly toward shore in the long "cigar boat" on the Peruvian Amazon, Tolan turned and said in a low voice, "Let's arrive with guns blazing." The "guns" were radio microphones, digital TV cameras, notebooks and pens, and the "target" was an official of a Peruvian natural gas company accused by local indigenous leaders of spilling toxic waste directly into the river. The official wouldn't admit to what documents later showed?oil spills and a coverup?but Tolan and the students knew that if they hadn't spent 16 hours sliding down slick, perilous mountain roads, and another eight in the "cigar boat" crashing through rapids to reach these indigenous communities, they never would have learned the full story of Peruvian energy: that the benefits for society at large come with huge costs for local communities. Class projects have focused on the new South Africa; Cuba entering the 21st century; the "Al-Aqsa Intifada" in the West Bank; the 15th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall; the politics of energy in Latin America; social, cultural and political impact of global warming around the world. Class work has been published or broadcast by The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, the Los Angeles Times, the San Jose Mercury News, the San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Times Magazine, "FRONTLINE/World" and NPR. Many of the classes also have substantial photographic and online presence. Admission to international reporting travel courses is generally by application. Some students also receive international travel grants to work on projects with faculty advisors or "FRONTLINE/World" producers. In each case, teaching emphasis is on reporting and on the privilege and responsibility (not the right or entitlement) of working as a journalist overseas. As with all reporting classes at the J-School, international journalism courses emphasize basic skills inherent in any good reporting. Emphasis is also on knowledge of language and culture, ability to work with international partners, and getting the story right, even when a long way from home.
