- Description of Pictures: "Thank You, Mr. President" Explores Five Decades of White House Coverage as Part of Series on Democracy and the Press Veteran White House journalists David Gregory, Dan Rather, David Sanger, and Helen Thomas will examine the press and the presidency with legendary journalist Marvin Kalb on The Kalb Report.
This is the second installment of a four-part series focusing on "craft" and "impact" in critical areas of journalism. The forum will take place in the National Press Club's Main Ballroom on the 13th floor of the National Press Building at 14th and F streets, NW. The Kalb Report series is underwritten by a grant from the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation.
"What we know about the president and his policies, we get from the reporters who cover the White House," said Kalb. "They know more than they can tell us. From Helen Thomas, who covered President Kennedy, to David Gregory, who covers President Bush, they will share their behind-the-scenes insights and impressions of the most powerful man on Earth."
David Gregory serves as chief White House correspondent for NBC News and reports regularly on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, Today, and for NBC News' 24-hour cable network MSNBC and on MSNBC.com. In his seven years in this role, Gregory has covered the war on terror and the war in Iraq, and also has had several exclusive interviews with President Bush and Vice President Cheney. In 2005, Gregory shared an Emmy with his colleagues for the network's coverage of President Ronald Reagan's death and funeral.
Dan Rather, the longest serving network news anchor in television history, currently serves as anchor and managing editor of Dan Rather Reports on HDNet, a national high-definition network. His career spans five decades, and he has interviewed every United States president from Dwight D. Eisenhower to George W. Bush. Rather served as White House correspondent during the Nixon and Johnson administrations and was the anchor and managing editor of the CBS Evening News from 1981 to 2005.
David E. Sanger is the chief Washington correspondent for The New York Times, covering the Bush administration for the past seven years. He has been a part of the Times' journalistic team for 25 years, reporting from New York, Tokyo, and Washington. In 2004, Sanger was the co-recipient of the Weintal Prize for diplomatic reporting for his coverage of the crises in Iraq and Korea. He also won the Aldo Beckman prize for coverage of the presidency, awarded by the White House Correspondent's Association.
Helen Thomas is a trailblazing former White House bureau chief and correspondent for United Press International. She currently serves as a syndicated columnist for Hearst Newspapers. Thomas has covered every president since John F. Kennedy, where she began closing presidential press conferences with the now-famous catchphrase, "Thank you, Mr. President."
Over a distinguished 30-year career in broadcast journalism, Marvin Kalb served as chief diplomatic correspondent for CBS and NBC News and as moderator of Meet the Press. He went on to serve as the first director of the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics, and Public Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. He is a contributing news analyst on Fox News Channel and is frequently called upon to comment on major issues of the day by many of the nation's leading newspapers and networks. Among his many honors are two Peabody Awards, the DuPont Prize from Columbia University, and more than a half-dozen Overseas Press Club Awards.
In August 2007, George Washington University President Steven Knapp appointed Kalb to a two-year term as a James Clark Welling Presidential Fellow. "Marvin Kalb has always led by example," said Knapp. "His accomplishments as both a journalist and an educator have infused generations of reporters with the knowledge, desire, and courage to strive for excellence. It is an honor and a pleasure to continue our long association with Mr. Kalb."
All Kalb Report forums are produced in the main ballroom of the National Press Club before audiences comprising several hundred college students and National Press Club members. This year's Kalb Report series serves as a centerpiece of the National Press Club's Centennial Celebration. The series airs on New England Cable News and is distributed to public television stations nationwide by Oklahoma Educational Television Authority and American Public Television. The executive producer for The Kalb Report is Michael Freedman, vice president for communications and professorial lecturer in journalism at The George Washington University. The director is Robert Vitarelli, a 39-year veteran of CBS News. The producer is Heather Date, a 1998 GW graduate, former CNN associate producer, and now a special assistant for media and public affairs at the University.
The George Washington University, the National Press Club and Harvard's Shorenstein Center have produced 57 forums in The Kalb Report series since 1994. Guests have included Katie Couric, Walter Cronkite, Jim Lehrer, Ted Koppel, Sen. Hillary Clinton, former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Nobel Prize winner Elie Wiesel, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, New York Times Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr., NPR President and CEO Kevin Klose, FOX News Chairman Roger Ailes, New York Times Columnist Thomas Friedman, and Washington Post Writer/Editor Bob Woodward.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
James Dale Guckert (born 1957) worked under the pseudonym Jeff Gannon as a White House reporter between 2003 and 2005 , representing the virtual organization Talon News.
Gannon first gained national attention during a presidential press conference on January 26, 2005, in which he asked United States President George W. Bush a question that some in the press corps considered "so friendly it might have been planted." Gannon stated that this question was not meant to be friendly, but to expose the hypocrisy of the left.
Gannon then came under public scrutiny, in particular for his lack of a significant journalistic background prior to his work with Talon and his alleged involvement with various homosexual escort service websites using the professional name Bulldog, he resigned from Talon News on February 8, 2005. Continuing to use the name Gannon, he has since created his own official homepage and worked for a time as a columnist for the Washington Blade newspaper, where he came out as gay.
Gannon routinely obtained daily passes to White House briefings. He attended four Bush press conferences and appeared regularly at White House press briefings. Although he did not qualify for a Congressional press pass, Gannon was given daily passes to White House press briefings "after supplying his real name, date of birth and Social Security number."
Gannon currently operates a blog, JeffGannon.com, on which he criticizes perceived double standards used by both the "Old Media" and the "Angry Gay Left." He recently published a book entitled, "The Great Media War."
