I'm
trying to contact them but missed their office hours (10am - 12pm)
last week. Will contact them this week (1st October).
Who
else?
Have
contacts in Egypt (1 journalist and 1 political scientist), I want to
bring at least one of them for a foreign affairs-led interview but
haven't bagged them yet; still working on the contacts.

Collaboration
with EIU
Still
waiting for meeting to be arranged. It will not be the entire EIU
journalism body we'll be working with, they have decided to choose
'several' of their top/most interested students to work with us.
Production
How
many cameras do we need on the night?
2
cameras for OB.
1
camera inside news room.
1
JVC camera recording endlessly in studio (to allow us to make
interviews into vts we can rerun; we can record the show on tape as
well and edit those but the JVCs and their SD cards are faster to
edit from)
How
many OB teams?
Planning for at least 1 in London at the US embassy, with 3 people. If this is arranged for certain a hotel might be necessary for the night.

Livestream

What
is our set/green screen/studio plan?
1. Interview area, with seating and if there are any interviewees through skype, a tv.
2. Presenter's desk.
3. Expert corner, a place where resident expert (George, Lou) stands in and talks for up to 1 minute 30 seconds if we need to fill time. Ideally we'll never have to throw to them.
