So, I don't really know anything about Canadian politics...or the mayoral election at that. But I found their October 06, 2010 debate (that was done here in RRC), amusing.
At first I was more interested in the media staff that came to cover the debate, particularly the CJOB radio people that were on my side (I was sitting on the far right of my row). I was kind of observing how the radio technician was working. He had his little podium-like table where he put his switchboard and transmitters (I guess). And I saw the Richard (the host) was only wearing a wireless headset. And I thought that was coooool. So at that moment, I wanted to have his job and be a radio announcer.
Then I noticed that there were other people along the sides of the rooms who turned out to be reporters. During the breaks they'd go around with either their cameras or voice recorders getting snippets of opinions from students in the audience. I was actually a bit worried that someone would come up to me and ask me about the debate. But I guess I looked like I didn't really know what was going on, so nobody came up to me. *phew*
Oh, but that's a bad thing for me though. We will be having a journalism assignment about the mayoral elections in a few weeks. And I have now until that time to educate myself so that I'll not only be able answer questions, but also ask good ones.
You will be an ace reporter by the time we head out on this assignment.
