Abstract
This introduction chapter explains the need for The Future Foreign Correspondent book, and how it was inspired through lessons and challenges experienced from the Foreign Correspondent Study Tour (FCST). It briefly explains the concept of the book as a volume that speaks to the future foreign correspondent, examining how they might take an important place in the future of journalism, and crucially, steps that could be taken to train them. It outlines the book highlighting the need to consider more abstract issues and concepts relating to the practice of foreign reporting.
