"With globalization, news stories big and small almost always have an international angle. The YPM program gives aspiring journalists a chance to escape the perspective they grew up in, and see current affairs from a drastically different angle – that of the developing world, which is the angle three quarters of humanity looks out of.” - Arno Kopecky (YPM, 2010-11) |
