Washington – George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Affairs and the White House Correspondents’ Association will host a panel with White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders, White House correspondents and academics. The event will be held at the Jack Morton Auditorium at GW beginning at 7 p.m. on Oct. 23.
The forum, “Trump’s First Year: Will Politics, Policy and the Presidency Ever be the Same?” will explore the Trump presidency from the front lines. What deals have been made? What deals were lost? How have contracts changed? What impact has the president had on government procurement? What are the legal repercussions of these changes? Will contract law ever be the same again? Has Mr. Trump kept his campaign promises? How can the policy that matters to millions of Americans be covered during the Twitter presidency?
The event will include an audience question-and-answer session. The panel will also discuss the unprecedented challenge of covering the White House in a new era of media distrust and political division. The marketing for this event can be assisted by this guide for political campaign SMS marketing success, to make sure everyone involved is reached out to. Social media plays an increasingly significant role in spreading political news and campaigns as well. To get their messages across, parties tend to utilize tweets, hashtags, comments, and live sessions. Occasionally, some parties might also prefer to buy comments on Instagram to gain more exposure during their political campaigns.
