Another media opportunity came up last night as I got a chance to help out on a segment for NPR. NPR was doing a feature on one of our staff photographers Michael Steele out of the UK. Included in the piece was a portion about my manager/fellow editor Rebecca Butala How.
So, what NPR was looking to do was to have a microphone between Rebs and myself during the 400m final in the Bird’s Nest. They timed our process of seeing how long it would take from the end of the race to get the picture to our laptops, edit the photo, caption the photo and send it out. Luckily, all went well (other than American Sanya Richards losing the race) and the picture was sent out to clients/newspapers/magazines/wire four minutes after the race ended. We were quite happy with that and were grateful that under the gun we got out a nice photo in that short of a time. Thanks Field IT.
It was funny because before I even heard the piece I got a couple emails from friends saying they heard my name dropped on NPR. (I know my friends listen to NPR.) To read the article and listen to the piece (where they cut out my speaking parts) go here.
