David Angelo Caprara
Freelance
David Caprara is a multimedia journalist who creates news packages and documentaries focusing on culture and politics in Japan and the greater Asia-Pacific region. His past independent coverage has included interviews with North Korean escapees, on-the-ground reporting of the 2015 Nepal earthquakes, coverage of protests along the India–Nepal border, and reportage on the Syrian refugee crisis from de facto refugee camps across Greece. His documentary The Honey Hunters of Nepal (VICE) received a Webby Award in 2017, and his film Horimono: Japan's Tattoo Pilgrimage (VICE News) was screened at international film festivals around the world. The Fallen Fortress, a documentary that aired both in Japanese as an NHK BS1 Special and in English on NHK World, followed a years-long journey uncovering the mysteries of a B-29 crash that took place on a Buddhist holy mountain in Nara during WWII. This reportage provided new insights and closure to bereaved family members nearly 80 years after the end of the war.
David served as a producer for the Tokyo bureau of CBS News until the bureau's closure in 2024. While living in New York, he served as a field producer and reporter for the New York bureaus of both NHK and The Tokyo Shimbun, where he helped create written and video news packages with a focus on breaking news and United Nations Security Council developments. He also served as an on-camera correspondent for NHK World during this time and continues to provide on-camera reportage for TRT World. David is a graduate of the University of Virginia and is currently completing graduate studies remotely with the University of Missouri Graduate School of Journalism.
