Claman on covering Davos

Molly Stark Dean of TV Newser interviewed Fox Business Network anchor Liz Claman, who is in Switzerland covering the World Economic Forum.

Here is an excerpt:

TVNewser: A lot of media is out there with you. How has it been interacting with the rest of the media there?

Liz Claman: With 240 reporting media on the ground in Davos, with many of us chasing the same people, we’ve taken the “We’re all in this together approach” and turned it into a mutually beneficial relationship for everyone around whom we’re working. Listen, the Chinese are directly next door, New Delhi TV a floor below, al Jazeera and the BBC running around.. I mean, at some point someone’s going to need a camera battery or an extra hand trouble-shooting, and it’s better to be friend than foe. Aw, look, a classic Davos issue: coming together to solve world problems! It’s working!

TVNewser: You left CNBC in 2007. Have you seen any of your old CNBC colleagues there?

Liz Claman: I saw David Faber on the plane to Zurich. Upon arrival we were both a little out of sorts from jet lag. He walked into the ladies room just as I by accident walked into the men’s room. We both realized our mistake and darted out cracking up.
