CHIANG MAI, Dec 11 (TerraViva/IPS Asia-Pacific) - Powerful neighbour. A rising power. Old friend. Big, secretive investor. Big boy of the region.
These were some of the terms participants at a talk-show format discussion at the Mekong Media Forum used when asked to share the images of China they get from the media.
Reading Media
Johanna Son
BANGKOK -- Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia. What images might these words conjure up in the minds of international consumers of news? Perhaps war, maybe the Khmer Rouge. Or they might say, ‘Oh, it’s that those countries that had that war some time ago. . . they’re near one another, and they’re all the same’.
China: Benign Bully of the Mekong?
Johanna Son
SYDNEY, Oct 3 (IPS Asia-Pacific) – Over the last decade or so, China’s deft use of soft power has seen South-east Asian neighbours’ view of it change from a looming threat to a largely friendly, if still imposing, giant to the north.
Applications Open for EarthRights Mekong School
EarthRights Mekong School is now accepting applications for its seven month training program from activists around the Mekong Region whose work specialises in environmental issues and civil society.
This years' program will focus on dam projects, water issues, and international financial institutions (IFIs), and will equip participants with the relevant skills, knowledge and experience to campaign for the environment and human rights through experiential learning methods. The training will take place in Chiang Mai, Thailand from June to December 2008.
The structure of the programme will see students attending workshops on topics like environmental and human rights law, research methodology and international advocacy. Then, they will return to their home countries to undertake a field project. The program will culminate in a two-month session focusing on media messaging, advocacy and campaign planning back in Chiang Mai.
Housing, transportation and a modest living stipend will be provided to successful candidates. The deadline for applications is Mar. 10, 2008. For more information, please visit http://www.earthrights.org/training/ or contact the Mekong School Coordinator at mekong@earthrights.org.

What's New
Mekong ICT Camp 2010
The Mekong ICT Camp (http://mekongict.org), a biannual training workshop on information, communication, and technologies for citizen media, community health, and civil society practitioners in Mekong subregion, is accepting applications until Mar. 31, 2010. Participants are welcome from the Mekong countries, including Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam.
COMING SOON: 'TALKING GENDER IN THE MEKONG MEDIA'
.jpg)
BANGKOK - Do media organisations in the Mekong Region think that gender sensitivity, including giving voices to women, is part of doing better stories? How do they define it within the context of their societies and how do they report on different genders and sexuality? Do they include the use of gender-friendly language in their stylebooks and training programmes? How much is using a gender lens a news habit?

It is a good timberland 6 inch boots thing that the God Who made us is not impatient with people like me with my timberland shoe company orchid.

His death back then covered the sins of every cheap timberland boots person who will ever live. He then rose to life after three mens timberland chukka days and ever since has wanted us to accept His gracious act by loving Him and also those around us.
