A career in journalism almost always requires familiarity with Washington, D.C., and not just for political junkies. Besides being the home of the federal government, Washington is a crossroads for science, social issues, economics and most other topics that end up in the news. This program, designed for college students with an interest in journalism, will provide an overview of Washington and provide tools and knowledge to delve deeper when students return home or land first jobs.
