Description
VOA at the White House: Covering the Trump Administration
Covering the White House is an amazing responsibility for any journalist, never more so than in 2019. Doing it for Voice of America brings its own challenges and opportunities. VOA is a U.S. government external broadcaster with 47 language services. Steve Herman is VOA's White House Bureau Chief. What do attendees need to know about covering a controversial administration with a pugnacious attitude toward the press? How does VOA's relationship with the government reflect that? What career advice would he give an aspiring news producer? What hard lessons has he learned? Hear from him about his experiences compelling journalism about this administration and how Voice of America approaches its role in today's contentious media climate -- as well as how a pool of 22 reporters, videographers, still photographers and audio techs cram into the Oval Office and otherwise coexist without ruining the work of others or getting into a brawl in front of the president.
