Day 3 – CM

5-14-13

We spent a lot of time on the subway today.  A little bit of a pain, but well worth the reward of what we saw.

We woke up early to go see the East Side Gallery, a section of the Berlin Wall left standing that artists painted over.  It seems they are somewhat frequently updated, some pieces were dated as recent as 2009.  There may have been newer paintings, but unfortunately we did not have time to view the entire wall.

The above image is one of my favorites from the trip thus far.

After a quick lunch and little bit of tricky navigating, we found our way back to the hotel in time to go to our media visit of the day, the Deutsche Welle, an international multimedia news organization.

We toured DW’s headquarters, including the broadcast sets and control rooms.

Although I don’t know much about broadcasting, I thoroughly enjoyed touring DW.  I’ve never seen how broadcast journalism actually works before.

I will try to rest tonight…Tomorrow, we visit the media outlet that I will be covering, the Deutsche Presse Agentur.
