Are Front Row tapes edited for broadcast?
Generally speaking, no. Front Row presents academic and cultural events as they take place, from introductions through question-and-answer sessions and concluding remarks. Occasionally, a segment of a presentation will be edited out because it does not meet technical or editorial standards. An example of the former is a question-and-answer session at which the questions are not spoken into a microphone or repeated by the presenter into a microphone. An example of the latter is a speaker introduction that veers off into a speech or administrative commemoration.
