Media Day

Last week I had the opportunity to help organize and watch a media day with one of our professors. He's elderly so we did it at his building. Video interviews, photographs and a phone interview for National Public Radio kept us busy. I took the snapshot above during a technical glitch.  I'm in a corner, staying out of the way, and being quiet as they videotape an interview. It took quite a while to set up all of that equipment!

All of this is in preparation for a new book being published this month: "How China became Capitalist," by Ronald Coase and Ning Wang.

It was really interesting to watch everyone at their work. I was quite impressed by the interviewer. We had to hunt around the building to find the proper place for the NPR phone interview. The sound technician finally found a room with very little ambient sound or echoes.
This is me with the two authors, I think it was taken before the interviews got underway.

Nice to see you with your "boys"-- you've always spoken so fondly of both of them.

It always help to have a professional photographer taking the picture. It was a happy day.
