Journalist seeks help

Originally Posted at South Asia Mail

I am a freelance journalist from the US, looking for human rights-related story ideas in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos. I plan to spend 3-6 months (probably from January 2010 onward) traveling and reporting in these countries for US-based publications. I plan to work in print, still photography and video.

I am 30 years old, and have been working in journalism for about the past seven years. I've won a number of awards for my reporting, including the National Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism from the University of Oregon and the Weltner Hero Award for Courage in Journalism from the Georgia First Amendment Foundation. In the past year and a half, I've begun reporting from South Asia with trips to India, Pakistan and Nepal. I've lived in India for the past six months, and am back in the States planning my next trip.

Any leads, ideas, contacts, etc, etc, etc, welcome: joeldelliott@gmail.com

Joe, go to Vietnam report on the minority rights, and land grab.

Go to Cambodia and report on force eviction and land grab

go to Laos and report about the Hmnong people's flight from the govt.

Anywhere you go in S.E is a ground for human rights abuse. Just get on the ground, the story will find its way to you.

if joeldelliott was a humain, he can witness for millions people victims of rights abused but if he was not, he will rather fall in the path of assassins rather than helping victims

yuons are best in making itself victims on international scene while itself are pitiless assassins and persecutors against millions people

experience tell, dont wait these people to help you, they rather with yuons side but help yourself in the way you can against yuon crimes. why this one is different from other of his kind?

Please, please go to Cambodia and do the report on border issue between Cambodia and Vietnam. We need people to pay attention to the problem and we need people to know the truth. We also want to know how much influence is Vietnam on the Hun Sen government.
Thanks
