Robert L. Kroon (1924, The Hague – June 24, 2007, Genolier) was a prominent Dutch journalist who reported on conflicts and other stories as a foreign correspondent from Africa, Asia and Europe for nearly 60 years. ==Career== Kroon began his work for the Associated Press in the years following World War II. His first reports for the AP came in 1949 during the Indonesian war of independence against the Netherlands.〔 Kroon was expelled from Indonesia in 1952 by the country's military for, in his own words, "'inimical reporting' about a rebellion in the Indonesian Spice Islands."〔 (which are now known as Maluku or the Moluccas) Kroon began reporting as a foreign correspondent for ''Time'' magazine in 1953 following his expulsion from Indonesia. He was based in Geneva, Switzerland, during this time and also reported for Dutch news media outlets while at ''Time''.〔 Kroon reported on several important conflicts for ''Time'' magazine. Kroon covered the 1956 Soviet invasion of Hungary and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising.〔 He also reported from the Belgian Congo as the colony gained its independence from Belgium in the early 1960s.〔 Additionally, Kroon went on to report for such major news centers as NBC and The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, several Dutch and Belgian radio stations, as well as Benelux television broadcasters later in his career."〔 Kroon always tried to work for a wide range of Dutch media while continuing to report for major international publications, according to Kroon's former boss, Dutch journalist Wibo van de Linde, who was Kroon's boss at ''Avro and Tros'' (a weekly news magazine on Dutch television) for 15 years.〔 Kroon continued to work as a contributor for the ''International Herald Tribune'' in Paris, France, throughout the 1990s.〔 Kroon interviewed a wide range of political leaders and prominent entertainers throughout his career as a journalist. He counted Sukarno, Suharto, Charles de Gaulle, Frank Sinatra, Charlie Chaplin and Peter Ustinov among his most important subjects.〔 Recently, an (endorsement by Robert L. Kroon has appeared in the book 22 Faces ) written by Judy Byington and published by Tate Publishing. This book is an account of Satanic Ritual Abuse and claims of MKultra conspiracy theories, demonic possession and salvation from occult sacrifice by divine intervention. The book was published long after Robert Kroon died, and many question whether Robert Kroon would endorse such a book. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Kroon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
