Covering the World Baseball Classic Without Footage

How do you cover the World Baseball Classic when you don’t have the broadcast rights? Get creative. For this Assignment Desk, we talk with assignment editor Chia Chang, who walks us through how we sent one reporter to Japan to interview Taiwan’s players competing in the tournament and another to join fans at watch parties in Taiwan to capture the excitement on the ground. We also look at the fan tradition of “eating your rival’s luck,” including pizza inspired by Taiwan’s opponents in the tournament. -- Hosting provided by SoundOn
