The Acrobatics Behind The Radio Magic

Obama from a radio reporter's perspective

How NPR Really Sees Obama

Don Gonyea, NPR

Our Don Gonyea provides a radio reporter's-eye view of Barack Obama captured during the candidate's statement on the economy earlier today (that's Don's non-camera hand holding the mic in the upper left). Don took this photo crouching outside the Maumee Bay resort near Toledo, where Obama is doing debate prep. The contortions are part of an effort to get a high-quality recording without encroaching on the TV shot. Don writes, "I can guarantee nobody else has this angle on this event."
