Check FAQAbout Stephen
Stephen Wright, a journalist based in Southeast Asia, is an adept editor, writer and reporter, well versed in breaking news and longer-form projects. I've reported from about 20 countries and am at ease working independently or in multi-format teams. I have a combination of business and general news expertise. Recently I established a Pacific Islands news report for Washington DC-based Radio Free Asia, focusing on development challenges and China-US rivalry in the region. My investigation into a corporate green washing structure at Indonesian conglomerate Sinarmas prevented the company from securing the Forest Stewardship Council's influential endorsement for sustainable forest products. My experience spans The Associated Press, Dow Jones-Wall Street Journal, Radio Free Asia and its BenarNews affiliate.
