Yuri Kageyama, an Associated Press reporter who grew up in both the US and Japan, attended international school and Huntsville High, and became bilingual through her father’s engineering career with NASA and IHI. Yuri recounts being hired on the spot by The Japan Times, learning newspaper reporting and production, then choosing AP over other offers to write her own stories; AP sent her to Detroit during peak Japan-bashing, where she covered autos, crime, and policing and learned to focus on telling people’s stories despite prejudice. 

In this episode you will hear:

  • Yuri's journey to becoming a bilingual reporter with the Associated Press

  • The cultural and language challenges she navigated between Japan and the US

  • Insights into the creative process behind "News from Fukushima" and its impact

  • Her experiences covering pivotal events like the Fukushima disaster

  • The blend of journalism and poetry in exploring complex narratives

Since 2011, we’ve been building meaningful connections. Supporting careers, strengthening businesses, and creating lasting partnerships.
This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the trust of our clients, the ambition of our candidates, and the dedication of our team.

Thank you for being part of our journey.

Data regarding patterns in job changes points to the weight that our candidates place on building a stable career. Regarding the data related to hiring, obviously it shows that our clients are also hiring in some areas, both now and in the future. It remains a talent scarce market.
