In their own words: Selected writings by journalists on Mongolia, 1997-1999 | 6 January 2010

Launched in 1999 towards the end of my two-year assignment in Mongolia, this book is a unique resource for a developing country: a one-stop compilation of journalism chronicling the ups and downs of life in a country where the political and economic system has been turned on its head. You can download an edited selection of the book from Google Books here: In their own words: Selected writings by journalists on Mongolia, 1997-1999. 

Now also available at the University of Toronto: https://search.library.utoronto.ca/details?3403065

The UNDP Mongolia Communications Office aided many journalists to cover Mongolia from 1997-1999. Two examples are below:

"Herding instinct" by Jill Lawless, The Guardian, 9 June 1999.

For the past few months I have been posting previous work from DSConsulting. From 1997 to 1999 I headed the communications office for the United Nations mission in Mongolia. The office oversaw a busy publishing programme in English and Mongolian (at the time, the country’s biggest bilingual publisher). I also led for two years (2001 to 2003) an award-winning, ground breaking e-health project for Britain’s National Health Service. I have started to scan and upload the books and publications from that time as e-books. You can view and download these e-books here: http://www.scribd.com/DSConsulting.
