I am Chunghsi Tu (杜宗熹). I'm a journalist based in Japan. I was born in Taipei, Taiwan, and now living in Japan. I have been engaged in media-related jobs for the past 10 years, including full-time, part-time and freelance reporting. I also have extensive interviewing experience in Taiwan, Mainland Read moreChina, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan and other countries.

I have worked for the United Daily News in Taiwan and the Chinese-language media in Australia. I am currently a freelance writer for the Chinese Department of Voice of America (VOA) and a freelance writer for the Chinese Department of Deutsche Welle (DW).

I'm a cameraman based in Japan. 
If needed, I can also work as a photographer.

My work ranges from corporate gigs to documentary or news pieces. I'm therefore extremely reactive and understand how difficult it might be for you to find the right person to work with in this country.

I own my Read moreequipment (Sony FX6, light kit, various microphones, etc) and work on a regular basis for various news and production companies from around the world.

If needed I can as well hire a crew or work as part of a crew for much larger and ambitious projects.

I can as well deal with rental and fixing/translation services (for a fee).

Feel free to contact me so we can start talking about your project!

Hey all. 
I'm a Japanese-English bilingual independent journalist out of Tokyo, Japan. If you're based in America and you're tuned into public radio, you'll often hear my spots from Japan on NPR's newscasts. Aside from that, I hold regular agreements with clients like Reuters for audio and video Read morework, both live and pre-recorded/pre-filed. I also appear on Japanese television outlets as a sort of bilingual culture bridge.

I'm available for on-the-ground fixing and news production in any area of Japan. Visiting teams needing a coordinator will get top-notch service before they even get to the airport.
In front or behind the mic/camera, I'm perfectly comfortable (in both Japanese and English).

One last thing - although I don't cut my labor rates, I am intensely budget-minded and generally know where to find the good areas to cut here in Japan.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
