Ruth is an accomplished radio journalist. Prior to moving to China she worked for the BBC World Service in London for more than a decade, producing and editing programs such as NewsHour, The World Today and Europe Today.
"China never fails to surprise and astonish me," Ruth says. The Middle Kingdom is a difficult place to report from. Journalists face all kinds of restrictions and obstacles. "But people's courage and determination to make this a better place and fight for their rights makes working in China a tremendously rewarding experience."
