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.
