The Washington Center for Politics and Journalism is accepting applications for the 2010 Winter/Spring (February-May) Politics and Journalism Semester.
During 16 weeks in Washington, students work full-time in major news bureaus. Twice a week, they gather for the central purpose of the program: 90-minute seminars on campaign, governance and interest group politics. Students pay no tuition or fees. Each receives a $3,000 stipend to help with Washington living expenses. The program is operated by a non-profit educational foundation, the Washington Center for Politics & Journalism, founded in 1988 to improve political and public affairs journalism. The Center operates from one of America’s best known political addresses, The Watergate, in offices generously provided by Atlantic Media, publishers of Atlantic Monthly and publications of the National Journal Co.
Some of the speakers form the program include: * Judy Woodruff of PBS * Former Sen. Bob Dole * Former Clinton press secretary Mike McCurry
Class hosts include: * Columnist and author Pat Buchanan * “Dean” of White House correspondents Helen Thomas * ABC “This Week” anchor George Stephanopoulos * Syndicated columnist George Will
