To learn more about issues that are central to the development of the Foundation’s “Transcending Boundaries” strategy, a grant was administered to the Inter Press Service (IPS), a non-profit international cooperative of professional journalists in the field of communication, to carry out an experimental project, which involves journalists and photo reporters in investigating cross-border issues in the Greater Mekong region. Twelve journalists/photo reporters of Mekong countries were selected to produce in-depth features and photo essays on different cross-border issues relevant to the region, which will serve as an information source for the general public regarding the social challenges presented by the many uncertainties associated with the phenomenon of globalization and related regional changes. To present a more in-depth coverage of each issue in the final publication, IPS will also be producing special stories consisting of commentaries by experts that will complement the ones done by the twelve-selected journalists/photo reporters to provide a wider view of the issues relevant to the sub-region.
