The National Press Foundation celebrates the best of journalism with its annual awards, which carry $48,000 in prize money. These prestigious and highly coveted awards are open to journalists across the media spectrum. Award winners will be honored at our annual awards dinner on Feb. 16, 2017.
Reporters are driven by the reality that come January many of their sources at the White House, Congress, and federal departments and agencies will be out of a job. With experts from the worlds of politics and journalism, we’ll give reporters a historical grounding in how transitions operate – and how to cover them.
Speakers: (more to be added)
David Eagles, director, Center for Presidential Transition, Partnership for Public Service
William A. Galston, senior fellow, Governance Studies Program, Brookings Institution
Sponsored by CQ Roll Call and the University of Maryland Philip Merrill
