News 21 Project Coming to Korea

I have been contacted by a group of journalism graduate students from the University of California, who are in the midst of sending student journalists around the world to report on the lives of soldiers in the US military.  Here is the mission statement from their News21 website:

News 21 is a reporting project at UC Berkeley¿s Graduate School of Journalism, designed to generate original broadcast television and multimedia reporting on the US military abroad. The American military is in the midst of a profound shift in strategy that is reshaping the military¿s presence, and in many cases, its mission, around the world. Older, permanent bases are downsizing or being restructured; newer, smaller and more flexible bases, in places new to American troops, are being created. We are looking for ways to tell stories¿cultural, economic, political and environmental¿about the nearly half million men and women serving the security interests of the United States overseas.

They will be in Korea for the month of June and will be teamed up with two students of Oh Yeon-ho who K-bloggers may know is the founder of OhmyNews.  I know, Berkeley and OhmyNews working together would seem on the surface not to be a good thing for the US military, but this group really seems interested in getting out stories from US soldiers themselves.  So they are looking to contact soldiers and those knowledgeable about USFK affairs when they get to Korea in June.  So if anyone out there is interested  in helping out they can be contacted from their News21 website.
