Our Penn State SPJ group also made a stop at @USATODAY’s Washington office and met with two senior reporters as part of our White House trip this week.

[Penn State SPJ @PSU_SPJ]

Our Penn State SPJ group had a great time in DC. Our students visited the White House, met network corespondents and saw the press corps in action. Even had a chance to see the President as he stepped out for an unexpected press event.
