Media note (updated)

By James Fallows
Late Thursday night, Beijing time, I did an interview about the Olympics for the Lehrer News Hour show that I think will be shown early Thursday night US time. This was foreign-correspondentry from Ye Olden Days: hearing a question over the telephone, carefully putting down the telephone so it's out of camera frame, and then answering the question into the camera -- and those recorded answers being FTPd to the US to be spliced with the questions. OK, semi-olden days. Basic theme: Zhongguo Jia You! Aoyun Hui Jia You!

*
Update: Apparently not shown Thursday. Maybe Friday? Que sera sera.

 ** Updated update: The segment did run on Friday. Info here, with link to streaming video here.
