"During the past two days we visited:
- Bloomberg¹s futuristic newsroom where Senior Editor Bradley Martin gave us an in-depth look at what¹s happening in North Korea
- The U.S. Embassy where Ambassador Tom Schieffer (brother of CBS News Anchor Bob Schieffer) talked about the office and his career. Meanwhile, Press Attaché David Marks (an IU graduate), joined by Newsweek Bureau Chief Christian Caryl, shared his experiences in dealing with the media.
- The Foreign Correspondents Club of Japan where Sophie Hardach of Reuters gave us a tour and introduced us to several Tokyo-based western journalists
- Gavin Anderson (one of the world¹s largest PR agencies) where President and CEO Deborah Hayden and her team discussed the challenges and opportunities of working in PR overseas
- A karaoke box where we discovered some unbelievable singing ability among our International PR students!"
