Carina Mia Wong, VICE takes her viewers inside worlds they may not otherwise be able to access. Originally from the U. After completing her studies, Yeung then lived and worked in China, using her experience producing segments for state-run Chinese television as an example of the type of biased work she was striving to eradicate from the world of journalism. In her current role with VICE, the now New York-based reporter works tirelessly to examine multiple facets of a story, a capability the long-form style of the show facilitates more easily than mere news clips. The Window: People are often shaped for later success by something in their childhood. Can you tell us a bit about how you grew up? Isobel Yeung: I grew up in southern England in a town called Salisbury, which is a very white, middle-class area. Both of them really instilled in me the need to get an education—neither of them come from a particularly well-off background—and also the need to work really, really hard. Even though neither of them has a very good education themselves, they taught me to be incredibly curious about the world. That was the biggest factor in terms of what influenced me moving forward. A good sense of curiosity is always helpful to a journalist! When you were younger, did you have any role models that you looked up to? So for me, my dad was really my role model. He came over, fresh off the boat, and set up a small Chinese restaurant that he and my mum ran together. It was very much the story of an immigrant who came to a little English town in the countryside. He would work six days a week, all hours of the day, and slog it out in order to get my brother, my sister, and me through school and to live the dream that he always wanted. He was really my idol in terms of work ethic. She was really at the top of her game at the time when I was growing up, and I just thought she was the most amazing woman, calling out injustices and holding people accountable. She was an incredible inspiration to me. Spencer Chumbley for VICE on HBO Was there one light bulb moment when you knew that you wanted to become a journalist? It was more a series of events that led up to that realization. When I was covering the Hong Kong protests, I spent a lot of time with protesters who were so passionate about their cause. Spending so much time with them confirmed my feeling that I wanted to do long-form documentary filmmaking, which is what VICE is all about. So that story that I ended up doing for VICE News back in 2014, I think it was, was one in a series of turning points for me. I was still living in China at the time, but I started pitching a lot of stories to VICE and to other TV and broadcast channels. I researched my stories a lot. I figured out what kind of stories I wanted to do. And I was just super persistent. So, lessons so far: persistence and curiosity. How is it that you do decide what stories you want to do? It has to be a story that moves me or that I think is important. Why is it particularly important to you to tell those stories? Often, women and children are the most forgotten and the most vulnerable. Gender equality is crucial for economic, social, and political advancement. Speaking of your travels around the world, you do spend time in a lot of places where women are treated inequitably, or in some cases are subjugated. It really gives you an amazing perspective. Yes, obviously, there are times when you meet these women who have been subjugated, but surprisingly, what comes across most often is an incredible resilience. I actually just came back from a trip to South Sudan, and we were with these women living in sites that have been established for internally displaced people within the region. We were with them as they walked ten hours a day to go pick up firewood so that they have enough fuel to cook for their families. They do this every day.

I think the emphasis should be on those credentials. What would you say at the top three characteristics that have contributed to your own success? So, definitely a strong work ethic. There are so many! Part of that comes from holding yourself to a certain standard though, no? Certainly—you have to be self-critical and able to recognize your flaws. It does make it a really great way to improve, though, since you are able to look back and point out things that you could have done better. You have to be very passionate and you have to be really clued up on what the subject is. It can often be quite a fight to get those stories on air. On the more personal level, managing relationships can be difficult. That can be really tough. On a lighter note, since you do travel so much, do you have any favorite destinations? I personally have a soft spot for China. Plus, the food is incredible. Be really clued up on the stories you want to do, what it is you want to get out of it, and why you want to be doing it. Also, you can never be prepared enough for a story or an interview. After that, just work very hard.
