OXFORD, Miss. – As thousands of journalists converge on the University
\nof Mississippi campus this week in preparation for Friday’s
\npresidential debate, some are offering students and locals a chance to
\nparticipate in live media events.<\/p>\n

“We are working hard to have the media interact directly with students,
\nfaculty and staff, as well as the rest of the local community,” said
\nAndy Harper, UM special assistant to the chancellor for media
\nrelations. “If nothing else, these events offer a chance to star watch
\nor maybe even be on national television.”<\/p>\n


CBS’s “The Early Show,” with anchor Harry Smith, is set to broadcast live from 6 to 9 a.m. Friday from inside the Ole Miss Student Union. Allison Rakes, a CBS News broadcast associate, encouraged anyone who wants to attend the national broadcast to arrive by 5:30 a.m., and to bring signs of support for their candidates, the Ole Miss Rebels or the Oxford community.<\/p>\n

“We are planning to pull audience members from the crowd to take part in two, two-minute interview segments,” Rakes said. “This (debate) is such a historical event and election, and we really want the Ole Miss community to share their interest in the election on our broadcast.”<\/p>\n

Also on Friday, CNN is broadcasting in the Grove from noon to 10 p.m. with its “Election Express Yourself” tour. The tour includes free giveaways, a political trivia competition and an opportunity to become an “iReporter” for CNN.com.<\/p>\n

MSNBC plans to broadcast three episodes of “Hardball with Chris Matthews” live from the Union Plaza on Friday. The shows air 4-5 p.m., 6-7 p.m. and from 11 p.m. to midnight.<\/p>\n

Several radio programs also are originating from campus during debate week. ABC Radio’s Sean Hannity is broadcasting from the Student Union, Room 403, from 1 to 5 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n

Radio America’s Ben Ferguson has been broadcasting live the Student Union Plaza this week, and will be on the air from 8 to 10:45 a.m. Friday. A UM alumnus, Ferguson, 27, is billed as America’s youngest nationally syndicated political commentator.<\/p>\n
