MTV, The Hatchet and Nancy Pelosi
Posted by Jake Sherman
Yesterday morning The GW Hatchet and mtvU hosted Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on campus for a taping of the television show “Editorial Board.” MTV flew in three college journalists from across the country to Washington to participate in a Meet-the-Press style roundtable discussion. Lilly Lamboy, from the Smith College Sophian, Laura Plantholt from the University of San Francisco’s Foghorn and Mike O’Brien from the University of Michigan’s Review joined me on the panel, which was taped in a second-floor conference room in Gelman Library Tuesday afternoon.
This was kept under wraps for security purposes and also because we didn’t have a live-studio audience. I will expand upon this in Thursday’s paper, but it was really interesting to see how prominent politicians are taking time out to talk to college media and appear on television shows that will only air on college campuses. She was relatively candid for a politician, which was nice to see.
