I'm a professor of Mass Communications. What a great resource. I'll have my students watch this. It is great advice for any medium.

Scott looks like Robert Downey Jr. I only knew the voice before seeing this. From now on, I'm afraid RDJ will come to mind whenever I hear Scott on NPR...

@annacapa - maybe Scott Simon and NPR should come to mind whenever you see a Downey Jr. movie, instead?

I lost respect for Scott Simon when I heard him choke up while reporting on the dead in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, and realized I had never heard him choking up when reporting the deaths in Africa, Boznia, etc. That impression has never left me. I listen to NPR ALL the time, but cant forget that moment.

LOL people be damned when they show emotions for those closest to them. I doubt that you choke up over these things or you would be too weepy to type your comment. Climb down off of your Dafur high horse honey and stop being ridiculous.

you know, you have a point there, although i was thinking more about the victims of US military lunacy than other tragedies that, it is true, should have me weeping all over my keyboard.

norfolkyngvie ... You imply that Scott imputes greater value to American lives than those of Bosniacs, Rwandans, et al. But your judgment is rooted in an "apples and oranges" comparison. Scott's (or any reporter's) personal reaction to an interviewee typically doesn't survive into the final cut because it doesn't advance the story, OTOH, the shuttle disaster occurred as WESAT was starting its second hour. What you heard was live and unfiltered. The two contexts couldn't be more different.
