Title:Covering the Race for the White House Virtual Panel

The 2020 presidential election is like no other in history. Members of the Georgetown community joined us for a discussion between top political journalists and news industry executives as they discuss what it’s like covering this historic election – what they’ve seen so far and what they see happening as we get to November.

Panelists provided their insights about the election, what it entails to cover it and what the next months look like and the challenges faced by journalists, news organizations and the candidates.
