Here's what us in Asia had to say about that CNN reporting trip to Myanmar. "I guess that’s what happens when you’re parachute reporting — You forget why you’re there because you’re [too busy] enjoying being there for yourself.”

I once worked at a global broadcaster myself (check out bio) and know exactly how infuriating parachute journalists and foreign correspondents can be. It isn't a fair industry but I hope that the dynamics will change. We still have a long way to go in terms of newsroom diversity.
