David Brooks and his visit to Berry College

Brooks does an interview for Viking Vision
After all I had heard about David Brooks' accomplishments and political connections, I was somewhat surprised when I met him for the first time. He was gracious enough to be apart of an interview that our campus news station, Viking Vision, was conducting about his experiences as a big-time New York Times editor. He was dressed in typical professional garb, but his friendly smile made him seem at first glance anything but intimidating. I ran the camera during the interview with one of our reporters, and his willingness to answer even personal questions about his family and hobbies only made him even more likable as a person. The interview went on for almost an hour, and putting up with cameras all around you, as well as the glare of a spotlight in the face, was very gracious of Brooks. It showed me that even our insignificant campus news station meant something to him.
