Ali: Thank you, now its time for our audience to join in the discussion I’ll start with the lady on this end.
Person: Gentlemen this is fascinating I’m not even sure if this is on is it?
Ali: [IB].
Person: Okay I particularly I went to the Colombia School in Journalism by the way and I worked at for the UN also overseas. I’d love to hear particularly from our foreign news editor the dynamic between the foreign news editor and his or her team and the foreign correspondence that process of determining what’s going to get written, the filtering of it, the back and forth, and I’m also curious in terms of what training do your folks get if they are going to a new part of the world I know that David [Shickler] I think had some training in Russian before he went and served in Russia. Can you do that anymore, give them that almost kind of a crash course scenario studies? Although on the other hand you have people like some of your China people were real experts in that in terms of language and history, and just quickly I could ask many questions. In terms of the investigative pieces you said in your early remarks about a story that would take a number of months to do this isn’t what you are thinking of you want something maybe in the next two or three days, maybe I misunderstood where you were going but what about the investigative pieces for your foreign correspondence could you have someone do what Dana has done in this trend or in the foreign security area and the CIA, do you have the resources for that?
Douglas: Yeah, all great questions first in terms of the training of correspondence. We continue to make sure that correspondence have a language training when they are going to a country in which they need it. Sometimes we are able to do that simply by hiring someone who’s language is already quite good, or a new correspondent in Baghdad [IB] speaks terrific Arabic and that’s really helped her and made her an attractive candidate to us. We have foreign speakers of Chinese, of Russian and other languages. Its harder to be frank to get money to send someone off to a language school for a year. I used to hear stories of colleagues who left to go study Japanese in Môn are at the language institute for a year and mostly didn’t come up with very good Japanese but they had a heck of [IB] year in Northern California but it is important and whether the training is in purely foreign language or in simply taking some time to read and steep themselves deeply in a story we want very much to do that, a correspondence who just learns as if the place is another planet isn’t the best [ship].
