Journalistic exchange
Every year Amway hosts press groups from around the world who visit our West Michigan headquarters and other U.S. facilities to learn more about our business opportunity and brands.
And during these press visits we allow a bit of time for our guests to explore our communities and meet our people.
For a group Amway Russia brought to Amway this week, part of the exploration included meeting with professional peers here in the U.S.
Yesterday we hosted a journalistic exchange between nine Russian journalists and representatives of three West Michigan media outlets - The Grand Rapids Press, WJRW Radio and WXMI Fox 17. The group discussed the shift from morning editions and evening newscasts to a 24/7 online news cycle and non-profit versus for-profit journalism.
And through their discussion, discovered how their work is different yet very much the same.
