Description

The Washington, DC Journalism Program offers graduate and undergraduate journalism students the chance to spend a semester in Washington, DC meeting newsmakers, working in the bureaus of national news organizations, reporting on Congress and the federal government for New England news outlets, and studying political reporting in the city where national news is made every day. Participants have the opportunity to make valuable contacts with working journalists at national news organizations both on the job and in the classroom.

Students take a core course in political reporting, and a second newsroom experience course. The political reporting course includes weekly guest lectures and special events, and brings students together with newsmakers, editors, bureau chiefs, and reporters.
