Dear Forum members,

I have recently been in touch with the people at LinkAsia about the below program. It sounds great and really useful in lots of ways, including/especially in classes. I encourage you all to read more and check it out.

All the best,

Dear SSJ Forum Members,

I am a producer with LinkAsia, a half-hour weekly news program from Link TV. We call the show "authentic media from the source." From Beijng to Tokyo, from Seoul to New Delhi and beyond, LinkAsia takes viewers into media about Asia - from Asia - offering unfiltered insight into one of the most diverse, fast-paced regions of the globe. Each week, LinkAsia brings you
a unique half-hour program that combines everything from the official state news from Asia's top television's networks to the trends and conversation rising through Asia's blogs and social media.

Stories on deck for this Friday's show: Analysis of the confrontation in the South China Sea in waters disputed by both China and Vietnam Agent Orange in South Korea How Chinese bloggers are rising up against high prices China reacts to Google's claims of hacking Unseen images on the three-month anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan

Our show debuts Friday June 10, 9:30ET, 6:30PT and will run weekly thereafter. Link TV is carried on satellite, DIRECTV Channel 375 | DISH Network Channel 9410. Once the show has aired, individual stories will also be available online at our website, http://www.linktv.org/linkasia

I hope you will watch!
