"Mr. Smith also shared his thoughts about what he called the end of an era when news outlets based in London, New York or Washington dispatched journalists to foreign countries to report on the goings-on there."
"He asked why foreign readers would not prefer a homegrown English-speaking native to report the news in their region."
