I am sure there will be journalists from Asia/Pacific (Chinese, Japanese, Aussie/NZ) stranded in Europe and vice versa, but by 2000, I doubt they will be earning a living reporting for their original organization. Simply put - they won't be reporting (lack of communication channels), they won't be paid (lack of international banking) and will need to earn money doing something else or working for someone else.
For example, Hikaru Takihashi, dashing correspondent for the Nippon Daily, by late 1998 may find himself working as a waiter in a Magdeburg cafe, or as a contractor driving trucks for the BAOR rather than sending home biweekly articles.
