Reporters
Ruth has been reporting from China since 2005. She has filed for Marketplace, Deutsche Welle, German Radio and other outlets and also writes for newspapers and magazines.
Ruth is an accomplished radio journalist. Prior to moving to China she worked for the BBC World Service in London for more than a decade, producing and editing programs such as NewsHour, The World Today and Europe Today.
"China never fails to surprise and astonish me," Ruth says. The Middle Kingdom is a difficult place to report from. Journalists face all kinds of restrictions and obstacles. "But people's courage and determination to make this a better place and fight for their rights makes working in China a tremendously rewarding experience."
Nancy Greenleese can't help but report from Rome, Italy. Every day seems worthy of a documentary, from her morning cappuccino with a heart design in the foam to churches that resonate with the enchanting sounds of nuns singing vespers.
The radio and print reporter also travels widely. She's covered bird-watching in Trinidad and Tobago, professional baseball in Mexico, and Brunei's obsession with the smelly fruit durian.
Ruxandra Guidi is an independent journalist working in radio, print, and multimedia. She's based in Austin, TX, and reports regularly from the Caribbean, and both South and Central America.
Simone Orendain is an independent radio producer currently based in Manila, Philippines where she was born. Before returning to Manila in the spring of 2010, Simone worked at public radio stations in Charlotte, NC and Chicago where she grew up. She contributes to NPR, Voice of America, The World, the World Vision Report and Marketplace. 
Judy Martin is an Emmy award-winning journalist more than 20 years in broadcast news specializing in social issues, business and work life culture. A former NYC Correspondent for the Marketplace Morning Report, she now contributes to National Public Radio, CNBC Business Radio, The World Vision Report and News 12 TV Networks in New York.
