Adam Shapiro Interview

Talking Biz News interviews FBN’s Adam Shapiro…

How are you connecting with business people in Japan who can tell you what is going on at their companies?

We have contacted several of the major international companies, but the small business person is also a story worth covering. At this point we are still trying to get our hands around the disaster itself after which we can concentrate on the pure business angles.

Are you having any down time?

There is no down time whatsoever. We are 13 hours ahead of New York. Our Day starts at 9 a.m. local, 8 p.m. New York. We spend the day shooting stories and gathering information. At 6 p.m. local, 5 a.m. New York, we begin broadcasting. We finish broadcasting at 2 a.m. local, 1 p.m. New York. These are long days, but the job we have to do is important and it is also an honor to be trusted with the responsibility to deliver.
