| 摘要： | Reporters got a chance to ride a tow-boat, visit a lock and meet with industry professionals while learning about the importance of infrastructure along Americas inland waterways during Waterways Council Inc.'s (WCI) media tour August 23-24 in Nashville, Tenn., and Paducah, Ky. The annual tour provides media professionals from around the country a chance to learn more about the industry, according to Deb Calhoun, WCI senior vice president. She noted that as barges don't carry commodities along the Potomac River near Washington, D.C, those D.C.-based reporters who typically write about policy matters may have little experience understanding the inland waterways industry. For those who write about the industry more frequently, the tour was an opportunity to see the work from the front lines instead of from an office or boardroom. WCI's mission is to be the national unifying association of Americas numerous ports and inland navigation infrastructure inter- ests, serving as the definitive spokesperson for public policy concerning the inland waterways system in Washington, D.C, and around the country, Calhoun said. |
