A rolling TV studio

Steve Devoney (right), production specialist with C-SPAN’s Book TV bus, discusses video production and digital video post-production with members of Pier Marton’s Film and Media Studies class in Arts & Sciences. Marton (second from right), a senior lecturer, brought the class to see the bus Oct. 20, when it stopped at the University as part of its cross-country tour. The 45-foot-long bus features a mobile television studio and allows visitors to participate in interactive demonstrations about Book TV and watch video clips of authors who have appeared on Book TV, including Susan Sontag, David McCullough, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Thomas Friedman, Toni Morrison, Laura Hillenbrand and John McCain.
