Eduardo Castillo named Greater China news director
In a memo to staff on Tuesday, Vice President and Head of Global Newsgathering Paul Haven and Asia-Pacific News Director Adam Schreck announced that Eduardo Castillo has been named AP’s Greater China News director, where he will oversee coverage of China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Mongolia:
Coverage of China, the world’s No. 2 economy and second biggest country by population, is of vital importance to AP customers and audiences the world over. The rivalry between China and the United States over a host of issues from trade and military might to artificial intelligence is one of the most important storylines of our time.
Eduardo is already a familiar face for many in Asia, where he makes frequent appearances on the first daily global news call and spent part of last month helping out in Beijing.
For the past three plus years, Eduardo has creatively and collaboratively led the Latin America and Caribbean region, which covers the Americas outside of the United States. It’s a region that excels at covering breaking stories like Hurricane Melissa and producing impactful enterprise on key themes like immigration, and consistently delivers creative and visually rich joy, wonder and discovery storytelling. That’s all while navigating complex logistical, bureaucratic, security and press-freedom issues.

Eduardo joined AP in 2003 as a reporter in his home country of Mexico. He has since held a series of positions in the region, including deputy Latin America and Caribbean news director and head of the Spanish-language service. He has also spent time coordinating coverage of the Ukraine war from Kyiv.
He’ll take over from Emily Wang Fujiyama, who has been a core part of the China crew since 2017 and has ably led the team since 2023. She will be moving to New York soon to take on a new video role.
Please join us in congratulating Eduardo on the new role, and in thanking Emily for her strong run in China.
