Nova 1035
To read part 14 click here. So today we did the obligatory tourist thing and visited Disney World - being a Saturday it was BUSY, it was HOT, and with average waiting times for most rides at over an hour most of us decided to come home early rather than wait for the 9pm fireworks...
To read part 13 click here. Today we visited a local affiliate of a regional TV network who the less I say about the visit probably the better, except to say that when I tried to speak to the 'sports lady' about Sepp Kuss looking likely to win the Vuelta she had no idea what I was talking about! We then visited the TV broadcast and production class at […]
To read part 12 click here. We got to visit NPR Orlando affiliate station WMFE 90.7 today and, while we still didn't get to see any actual studios did have a very fruitful discussion and beneficial question and answer session. In the afternoon we met with the Editor-in-Chief and Managing-Editor of the Orlando Sentinel newspaper and had another very interesting and fruitful discussion with them. In between that, while […]
To read part 10 click here. I had been thinking to myself that I really don't like Helena much at all because out where we're staying the area looks like severe urban sprawl - everything is so big and so far apart, with massive roads cutting through everything and subjecting everyone to 'the tyranny of the car'. But today we visited Downtown Helena! Our presentations were all hosted in […]
To read part 9 click here. Today was amazing, the Gates of Montana boat tour was 2 hours I hope I'll remember for a very long time. We travelled down the river all the while listening to of the most knowledgeable, funny, and magnetic tour guides I've come across in ages. He could tell you about the rocks, the trees, the animals we did, and did not, see, and […]
To read part 8 click here. A long day of travelling after a long day of meetings yesterday. Up at 3 to make it to the airport and through TSA in time - hampered somewhat by two of our number suddenly being on a 'no fly' list due to their country of origin! Anyway, we made it to Denver, where I found a much needed coffee with it a […]
To read part 7 click here. Today included a rather underwhelming tour of Voice of America in which we got to meet none of the journalists working there, were not allowed into any of the actual news rooms, and had to look at unoccupied 'display' studios which we were not allowed to take any photos of... About the only interesting thing about the visit was finding out that, if the […]
To read part 6 click here. Some random observations of the United States... so far: - There are 'smoke shops' all over, though I haven't gone into one (honest!). - The people around here clearly like their iced tea. - Everything is sweet. - or only available in large packs (at least at the Safeway - which still sounds to me like it should be a pharmacy rather than a […]
To read part 3 click here. Day 3: Today started with a session where we all got to introduce ourselves and find out more about each other, one that once again left me with a profound sense of imposter syndrome but also joy at being able to be sharing this trip with journalists of this caliber and experience - from the 37 year-old Algerian Bouzid Ichalalene who, when the newspaper […]
