Week Four:  Covering Campaigns, Covering the White House—A Reporter’s Perspective

One similarity between a Presidential campaign and a Presidential administration is the unending scrutiny of an active, and always present, press corps.  Reporters who cover the politics of campaigning and the politics of governing face challenges all their own, living and breathing the same issues as the subjects they cover, but with different goals and different pressures.  Week four will provide a reporter’s perspective on the differences, and what is similarities, between covering a campaign and an administration. 

With special guests Matthew McGregor and John Tass-Parker.
