Will White House correspondents’ dinner be rescheduled? Some say: ‘Let’s call the whole thing off’
WHCA board members are considering pared-down options as security and financial concerns keep the dinner unscheduled, with a full-scale return to the Washington Hilton unlikely.
- More than three weeks after the shooting at the Washington Hilton, the WHCA is weighing smaller venues to reschedule its dinner, with a full-scale return to the hotel not foreseen.
- President Donald Trump stated on social media the dinner should be rescheduled within 30 days, following the incident where a man stormed the Washington Hilton lobby in what prosecutors describe as an attempt to kill the president.
- Security experts including former Secret Service agent Anthony Cangelosi of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice called the response successful, with retired officer Jeff James noting the gunman was stopped within about 30 feet of the middle perimeter.
- Ethics expert Kelly McBride of the Poynter Institute called the dinner a "bad look," while Ginsberg of the CPJ stated she would never attend another, citing concerns about press credibility.
- Former CBS News executive Marcy McGinnis questions whether rescheduling is necessary since scholarships were already funded, though she remains concerned about the optics at a time when journalists face unprecedented threats.
