In Their Own Words: Selected Writings By Journalists On Mongolia, 1997-1999 | 6 January 2010

Editor-in-Chief: David South

Research Editor: Julie Schneiderman

ISBN 99929-5-043-9

Launched in 1999 towards the end of my two-year assignment in Mongolia, this book is a unique resource for a developing country: a one-stop compilation of journalism chronicling the ups and downs of life in a country where the political and economic system has been turned on its head. You can download an edited selection of the book from Google Books here: In their own words: Selected writings by journalists on Mongolia, 1997-1999

Now also available at the University of Toronto: https://search.library.utoronto.ca/details?3403065

The UNDP Mongolia Communications Office aided many journalists to cover Mongolia from 1997-1999. Three examples are below:

“Herding instinct” by Jill Lawless, The Guardian, 9 June 1999.
“A Mongolian Shopping Spree Fizzles” by Thomas Crampton, The New York Times, June 25, 1998.
“The Milk of Kindness Flows in a Peculiar Land A Steppe From Nowhere” by Leslie Chang, The Asian Wall Street Journal, 15 August 1998.
Top journalists covering Asia in the late 1990s contributed to the book.
