Australian captains Qingdao media center

QINGDAO: Thanks to Diane Pearson and her colleagues, journalists get the latest information every day in the media center.

Checking the weather to see whether races will start on time, going out for interviews with sailors and then coming back to write stories, picking out daily quotes and writing a preview of the next day are the jobs Pearson does every day.

Originally from Australia, Pearson has been working as a Qingdao information specialist at the Olympic Sailing Competition for more than four weeks.
