"Pay attention, have a plan, be prepared."
~ Karen Coates
Reporters Karen Coates and Jerry Redfern now live in New Mexico. But they have been reporting on environmental and social issues from Southeast Asia for 20 years.
They spoke recently about a new story they have in Capital & Main, "In a Time of Extreme Peril, Burmese Journalists Tell Stories From the Shadows." And they shared some advice from the exiled reporters now living in — and reporting from — Thailand.
