Hello!Today, we all received preliminary information on ONS (Olympic News Service) including procedures and protocols along with a list of country codes for filing information. The best way I've been telling people what ONS is and does is that it acts as a pool for outside journalists. ONS gathers a comprehensive look at all events and provides a running stream of information for visiting journalists. This information can be accessed at kiosk terminals (I believe at the IBC (International Broadcasting Center)). The information goes over guidelines for interviewing athletes along with tips for good sound bites (familiar stuff from our journalism classes!).
While we are in Beijing we will be taking a Chinese Culture class which is part of the reason why we are arriving in China so early. This class, along with sightseeing, will keep us pretty busy leading up to the Olympics!Ted
