The Fixers

Here’s to the Fixers…the hard-working locals who bend over backwards to make journalism happen in foreign areas.  We had a fantastic team of people from Taizhou #1 High School showing us where to go and what to do in order to gather the necessary elements for the e-waste story.  They booked our hotel, bargained with drivers, got us access to a scrapping facility, translated, and took several hours out of their busy work-days to make all this happen.  I wasn’t sure how successful my Taizhou excursion would be, given the logistical challenges.  Our guides made this an incredibly productive experience.  Thank you to the Fixers of Taizhou, China.
