The Kalb Report

The Kalb Report

Location: The National Press Club

Date: March 21, 2011

Guest: Diane Sawyer


The Kalb Report  never fails to attract a large crowd: students, professors and fellow journalists gather to watch the veteran reporter, Marvin Kalb. The Kalb Report is aired live on CSPAN and focuses on significant interviews and news forums, as opposed to the "info-tainment" many news outlets use to attract viewers.

I was even texting my mom during the taping of the show and she was able to watch it live. It was pretty exciting.

The guest this week was infamous news reporter and anchor, Diane Sawyer. She is such an inspirational person. She told us we could all change the world, every one of us. She even spoke about how long she has been reporting and the things she has learned along the way. Did you know she started off as a weather girl? (If you ask me, it seems like weather wasn't quite her calling.)

I think that everyone, not just journalist, should view a live taping of The Kalb Report or atleast watch it on cspan. Our class has been so lucky to experience the numerous opportunities that it has, which I'm almost positive never would have been done had it not been for the Washington Semester Program.
