CNBC anchor Becky Quick writes for Conde Nast Portfolio about how covering the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland has changed in the past year.
Quick writes, “In years past, as journalists cozied up for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine, the first question we’d ask one another was inevitably, ‘Who do you have lined up for interviews?’
“It’s that competitive streak we all feel. We have to measure up our ‘gets’ against each other. And we have to make sure we haven’t forgotten to ask an obvious newsmaker for a sit down.
“This year though, the question is slightly different: ‘Who’s canceled on you today?’
“Because this year, the headline guests are dropping like flies.”
