DESCRIPTION:
They encounter a wealth of adventures as they roam the Continent covering news behind the headlines as well as colorful features -- stories dealing with everything from D Day and terrorism to Sherlock Holmes and Vincent van Gogh. The book deals with everyday life too -- what it's like to actually live in Europe -- and it's packed with Euro-facts not found in guide books.. Three American journalists are thrust into a bewildering situation when they're hired by a TV newsmagazine produced in Europe for broadcast on PBS
"Things you didn't know about Europe" according to F-Man. Walt Christophersen's book A Temporary European" is an excellent read. It is full of information about life in Europe in the 1980s and 1990s you won't find in any AAA tour book or similar guides. Walt Christophersen was on the spot, not as a tourist but as a resident and a working professional for many years. Being a seasoned reporter and globetrotter made him a keen observer of the many peculiarities of life in Europe that the vast majority of tourists never even notice.As a reporter for European Journal, a weekly TV show covering an extraordinarily wide range of events and subjects, Christophersen criss-cro. Best Job I Ever Had (He said.) bob singleton Ever wish you had the money --- and the nerve --- to chuck it all, head off to some foreign land, and let curiosity be your guide? Walt Christophersen's got you beat. He roamed Europe for years, got paid for it, and, along the way, viewed life from the best possible vantage point: that of a working journalist. "A Temporary European; The Adventures of An American TV Reporter on the Continent" is Christophersen's look back on his time as a writer/reporter for "European Journal," a weekly news magazine based in Cologne, Germany, and seen on public television in the US, Canada and Australia. It all begins in 1983. William Slatter said Delightful. If you like Europe, especially if you've travelled extensively there, and even more especially if you have a background in TV journalism, you'll surely love this book as I did. And even if you don't meet those criteria, I believe you'll find Walt Christophersen's tales of adventures in Europe and in his television work there just as readable and entertaining as I did.Bill Slatter, Natchez, Mississippi.
