Walking down Florida Avenue and the U Street area of Washington, you might feel as though you’re in a Deep South suburb. But in a 10-minute ride towards K Street, you’re right back in the concrete and glass, allegedly “soulless”, Washington that most Americans think of when conceptualizing their Capitol. More

A Trip to NPR Headquarters
Xin Jin
Spring 2016
On one of our regular Friday field trips, I had an opportunity to visit NPR’s headquarters in DC. As a journalism student and a listener of public radios, I fully enjoyed a nice hour-long tour in NPR.
NPR is located in the NoMa neighborhood of Washington DC. Once in the lobby, I saw a museum-style storyboard that stretched along the wall telling the history of NPR. It was founded in 1970 and began with 90 member stations. However, our tour guide says, nowadays, NPR has more than 975 public radio stations all over the country. More

Lost in the Newseum
Louise Liu
Spring 2016
“Journalism is the first rough draft of history.” This remarkable quote in 1963 came from Phil Graham, publisher and co-owner of one of the greatest American newspapers, The Washington Post. Today, half a century later, that quote was engraved on a wall at the Newseum, bestowing the greatest honor on journalists but also reminding them the huge responsibilities that fall on their shoulders.

How does your internship relate to your major?
By Brittnee Exum
Fall 2013

My internship at Fox 5 News has everything to do with my major, broadcast journalism. I aspire to become a television news reporter. Inside the Fox newsroom, I am surrounded by seasoned journalists who tell compelling stories. Many times, I’m able to accompany reporters on their assignments. I get to be a part of the news production process from start to finish.
In the morning, I attend a daily meeting where producers, reporters, writers, assignment editors, the news director and other team members develop the content for the evening newscast. Reporters pitch stories and many times are assigned to breaking news stories. The news team also decides what other stories they will talk about in the newscast and possible guests they may want to bring in to elaborate on a topic.
