    Zlata lisica. Doma v Mariboru. 56 nepozabnih lisičjih zgodb Naslovka.indd 2 29/01/2020 13:38 02 56. ZGODBO ZLATE LISICE PIŠEMO SKUPAJ Za nas Štajerce, ki smo Pohorje vedno imeli pred očmi, je Zlata lisica zmeraj pomenila najpomembnejšo športno prireditev v vsakem letu in za naše športne junakinje smo vedno srčno in glasno navijali. Na Pohorje sem se sicer vselej z največjim veseljem vračal, pa če je šlo za dnevno smučarijo, poletne priprave namiznoteniškega kluba ali pa le ob pogledu iz družinskega vinograda, ko se pred očmi za Ptujskim in Dravskim poljem razgrne v vsej mogočnosti. Čeravno sem sam zgolj rekreativni smučar in sem bil tekmovalno zapisan namiznemu tenisu, občudujem vse slovenske športnice in športnike, ki s trdim delom predano sledijo postavljenim ciljem, imajo najvišje ambicije in dosegajo izjemne rezultate v svetovnem merilu. V športu je vse jasno in običajno ni prostora za iskanje izgovorov. Podobno filozofijo gojijo tudi slovenske podjetnice in podjetniki, ki dosegajo vse boljše rezultate v globalni konkurenci. Vnaprej se veselim časa, ko si bomo tudi v oblastnih strukturah in Za to skrbimo na več načinov. Najprej s resnično neugodnih razmerah pokazati sistemskih institucijah postavili enake cilje. svojim znanjem in storitvami, usmerjenimi še posebno veliko požrtvovalnosti in Da bomo kot družba med najboljšimi na k strankam, s prepoznavanjem priložnosti predanosti, za kar se ji v NLB zahvaljujemo svetu in bomo za to trdo in predano delali, in potreb lokalnega okolja, z uspešnim in ji čestitamo. Prepričani smo, da bodo vse ne pa kot v zadnjem desetletju v glavnem poslovanjem ter s promocijo slovenskega od sebe dali tudi v njenem drugem domu, iskali bližnjice in izgovore, zakaj nam ne gospodarstva.

Thanks to both of you for helping me combine my two passions, journalism and international relations.

During the summers I used to look forward to winters, you know – no allergies, no mowing grass or tending a Preparation garden, no bugs, no so high temperatures that I wanted to peel my skin off in order to cool off, Bill sunscreen goes only on the face, no sweaty shirts, no “honey do-lists,” and of course: snowskiing.

  • Press Freedom and Reporting on the Government in Myanmar Ninh
    Press freedom and reporting on the government in Myanmar Ninh Pham Master’s candidate Missouri School of Journalism Spring 2014 Committee: Amy McCombs – Chair Barbara Cochran Randy Smith Acknowledgements I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to my chair, Professor Amy McCombs, for her guidance during the course of this project. Professor McCombs was with me from the beginning when I tried to find a project to work on. As the Lee Hills Chair in Free- Press Studies, she also granted a scholarship for my research trip to Myanmar in March 2014. I also would like to use this opportunity to thank the East-West Center in Hawaii for underwriting my trip to Myanmar. This project would not have been possible without their support. I owe my deepest gratitude to my wonderful committee members, Professor Barbara Cochran and Professor Randy Smith, for their guidance during my semester in Washington D.C., and the course of this project. I could not have finished this project without the help of Aye Aye Win and U Min Zaw. They were patient, kind, and generous with their time. They had answers to every question that I raised and helped me to connect with journalists in Myanmar before my trip in March 2014. Great thanks to Professor Fritz Cropp, who encouraged me to join the Washington Program; Martha Pickens, who was always there anytime I was panicked during the course of my studies; my great friend and my boss at The Vietnam Institute Joe Hobbs, who pushed me to apply for “the best journalism school in the world,” and Professor Jerry Nelson whose support made it possible for me to be in Washington D.C.
