SOLD OUT! -- NPR Tour and Reception with White House Correspondent Scott Horsley A.B. ’88 (’87)
Tuesday, February 28th at 5:00pm – 8:00pm
Join us on a special behind the scenes tour of National Public Radio (NPR) with White House correspondent Scott Horsley. He has graciously made arrangements for us to hear live taping for All Things Considered. Each show consists of the biggest stories of the day, thoughtful commentaries, insightful features on the quirky and the mainstream in arts and life, music and entertainment, all brought alive through sound. All Things Considered is the most listened-to, afternoon drive-time, news radio program in the country.
HCW will host a private reception with Scott Horsley following the tour. We will have the opportunity to hear his views about current developments in politics and journalism. He will be happy to entertain questions.
During the reception and discussion, we will enjoy wine and heavy hors d’oeuvres.
The tour will start at 5:00, so please be prompt. If you are running a little late, come anyway. We may be able to take a second group and you will still be able to join Scott and other fellow alumni at the reception.
We will meet Scott at the NPR Piano Lounge before the tour and return there for the reception. Enter by the main entrance to NPR Headquarters at 1111 North Capitol St., NE and security will direct you.
Limited spaces available for the tour, so sign up now!
Members and their guests: $60

The 2012 campaign is the third presidential contest Horsley has covered for NPR. He previously reported on Senator John McCain's White House bid in 2008 and Senator John Kerry's campaign in 2004. Thanks to this experience, Horsley has become an expert in the motel shampoo offerings of various battleground states.
Horsley took up the White House beat after serving as a San Diego-based business correspondent for NPR where he covered fast food, gasoline prices, and the California electricity crunch of 2000. He reported from the Pentagon during the early phases of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Before joining NPR in 2001, Horsley was a reporter for member station KPBS-FM, where he received numerous honors, including a Public Radio News Directors' award for coverage of the California energy crisis.
Earlier in his career, Horsley worked as a reporter for WUSF-FM in Tampa, Florida, and as a news writer and reporter for commercial radio stations in Boston and Concord, New Hampshire. Horsley began his professional career as a production assistant for NPR's Morning Edition.
Horsley earned a bachelor's degree from Harvard University and an MBA from San Diego State University.
