Politico and WJLA

Today Georgetown journalism students went to visit the a political newspaper The Politico, and the ABC TV news station WJLA in Arlington, Virginia. Students spoke with enthusiastic reporters of the Politico. They spoke of how they loved their jobs, what they do, and how they got into political journalism. The speaker who appealed to most students was "Shenanigans" gossip columnist Anne Schroeder. Her lifestyle was grabbing to students; as they were entertained by her stories of her wacky experiences as a gossip columnist.
After speaking with reporters from Politico, students got to sit-in on the afternoon airing of ABC news. Students were entertained by watching the fast-paced action on set. Cameras moved on their own accord like robots from the anchor's desk to the weather man's green screen.
The afternoon was exciting, and students learned a lot about the world of print and broadcast journalism.
