At 10 a.m. on Sunday Nov. 18, a crew of television broadcast students were hard at work in the auditorium preparing for the filming and production of the Salant Lecture. By 3 p.m. the students had only taken a break for lunch, and were still hard at work behind heavy equipment and under hot lights. Every step the students executed was crucial for the preparation of making the event run smoothly. The mounting pressure of the names they would be working with echoed periodically throughout the auditorium. The Salant Lecture was moderated by Brian Williams and guest panel members included Joe Scarborough, David Gergen and Peter C. Goldmark Jr. These panel members arrived around 5:30 p.m. to prepare for their discussion about the consequences of the recent election and the next four years. At 7 p.m. the show started and the students went live.

Every year, the Friday after Thanksgiving is when retailers open up stores with special sales and promotions for holiday shopping. The term “Black Friday” has been used because retail stores usually have enough sales this Friday to place them “in the black”, or having more profits than losses.
The superstore Target had doorbuster deals for as low as $5 and $10, starting at 9 p.m. Thanksgiving night. At 5 a.m. on Friday morning, Wal-Mart opened their doors with great deals on everything from electronics to jewelry. Deals like these attract people looking to save some money on holiday gifts. In fact, a record 59.1 billion was spent shopping this Thanksgiving weekend according to learnvest.com.
