  1. Indochina Media Memorial Foundation

    The Indochina Media Memorial Foundation IMMF was founded in London in 1991 in memory of journalists who died covering all sides of the Indochina conflicts from 1945 to 1975. Between the height of the French Indochina War in the fifties and the fall of Phnom Penh and Saigon in 1975, one hundred and thirty five 135 photographers and correspondents from all sides of the conflict were killed. The IMMF s first chairman was John Sheppard, who died in 2009. The IMMF works to develop the skills of journalists in Indochina . The Trustees aim to achieve this through developing education and training courses run through agencies and educational institutions in Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, including the Vietnam News Agency in Hanoi. The first IMMF workshop was held in Saigon in 2002, with more than forty trainee Vietnamese journalist photographers attending for the three day course. A second workshop in Vietnam, managed by Sheila Brown, was held in Hanoi in 2006 with more than fifty Vietnamese journalists and photographers attending over the three day course with instructional sessions conducted by Tim Page United Kingdom , James Caccavo USA , Frank Palmos Australia , Pham Thanh Hung Canon, Singapore and other visiting specialists. The IMMF believes the memory of the dead journalists is best served by encouraging a new generation who will chart the development of the region in years to come. The lasting legacy is in the form of a 336 A3 size color plated publication entitled Requiem Random House, New York, 1997 , with the front cover photo by Larry Burrows at Khe Sanh 1966 and a back cover image of the bullet pierced camera used in Vietnam by Japanese photographer Taizo Ichinosi.
