Talking sports, Olympics journalism and photography: Peter Parks and Josh Ball

Christina Pantin presents an episode talking about the other great Olympics competition: to get the best photo, the best story, the best quote. 

Josh Ball is News Editor, Sport & Racing for the South China Morning Post and has covered previous Olympics and major international sports events both as a desk editor and frontline reporter for the past 25 years.

Peter Parks is the chief photographer for the Hong Kong bureau of Agence France Presse (AFP) and also Correspondent Governor of FCC. He has spent over 30 years covering Hong Kong, mainland China and international sporting events including the 2008 Shanghai Games.

Hear them discuss how this year's Paris Olympics will be overshadowed by geopolitical events, how the coverage will be vastly changed by the technology being used, and hear about some of the momentous sporting moments they've found themselves witnessing and reporting.
