A seminar at SOAS University of London on the role of foreign correspondents in Taiwan. The Centre of Taiwan Studies welcomes alumnus Tommy Hall, whose research examines news media and international politics in Taiwan. The talk explores how international journalism intersects with diplomacy and cross-Strait politics, and how correspondents contribute to diplomacy in a so-called 'contested' state.
