Joy was flexible, timely, and had a good sense of knowing what was required for shooting sitdown interviews, voxpops, and b-roll meant for short TV packages. Would definitely work with her again.

US universities vacate students from dorms to slow coronavirus spread
Universities across the US are asking students to vacate their dorms to slow the spread of the coronavirus that causes Covid-19. Some students were left stranded with nowhere to go after being asked to move out on short notice. Harvard University’s undergraduate students were given five days to pack and leave. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) students were told to leave within one week. As Covid-19 cases increase in the US, universities across the country are taking preventative measures, including cancelling study-abroad programmes, moving classes online and limiting the size of on-campus events.

Kinmen: living on the frontline between Taiwan and China (ENG sub)
生活在金門：兩岸前線、“不沉戰艦”之外 About two kilometers away from Xiamen, China, Taiwan’s Kinmen county (Quemoy) is the last place the Communist and Nationalist forces fought each other in the Chinese Civil War. Since 1949, residents had seen numerous battles and gone through decades of shelling. With the rising tensions across the strait, some on the frontline islands are worried about their future. The story features three generations of locals, who talk about Kinmen’s military past, how they see the growing media attention, and what they want for their home. The video is part of Radio Free Asia’s special project on Kinmen. 縣議員董森堡説，金門是台灣“在廈門島外一艘不沉的戰艦”。而對於生活在這裏的人來説，它不僅僅是兩岸博弈的籌碼。在過去73年中，中國的經濟騰飛，台灣的民主進程，都讓金門所處的海峽政治時局發生了巨大的震盪。金門島上，不同世代因由周遭時政變化的裹挾，也產生代際間的分歧。生活在金門，是什麼讓他們如此眷戀不捨？ 本片是歪腦很特別企劃《炮火陰影下的金門：困惑於“兩個中國”之間》的一部分。點擊企劃鏈接閲讀更多關於金門的內容。

Arsenio Lopez, a funeral home director in Brooklyn and a Vietnam War veteran, showed the South China Morning Post what it is like to work during one of the largest health crises that he has seen.
