Thursday

Today, we had a press conference. The speaker was the white house deputy press secretary, so he was well informed about the happenings of the Obama administration. I am really interested in current events and what is going on at the White House, so it was really cool to hear his answers to the well thought out questions everybody was asking. It was well organized and the building we were in was gorgeous. Then, we had the pannel that talked to us about their experiences as journalists, or whatever else they did. The pannelists were great. I thought the discussion of paid versus unpaid internships was interesting. The pannelists shared their different viewpoints and explanations for the those views with us. That was great because we had the information in the end to kind of make our own well-informed decision about the topic. The George Mason graduate that worked on the radio was hilarious and a really fun addition to the pannel. It was really cool that almost all the people we have met this week have been willing to give us their contact information and help us anytime we need it once we get home.
