Notes from the Field
            
“I'm having a blast,” said American journalist Christopher Quinn. “What a great opportunity to have interaction with fellow reporters from around the world. To be able to hear, almost instantaneously, from others about perceptions and shared problems in reporting about religion has 24 karat value.”
