POLITICO!
What an incredible place it is. The building it's located in, first of all, is absolutely gigantic. Also the home of ABC-7, Politico's office is very wide open, and surprisingly quiet for a hot topic newspaper. We situated ourselves in a conference room over looking one of the many [blank]95 Routes in DC. We met with the gorgeous Beth Frerking and Kendra
Kendra began at Politico a few years ago, while Beth has been around since the start-up. Their stories were absolutely incredible - and it was very encouraging to see a young reporter with great success in the industry. It made me want to graduate TODAY!
Beth is not only an assistant managing editor, but is also in charge of hiring new employees. The information on what she looks for in potential candidates is absolutely invaluable! She was tough, and stern - and everything an incredible boss should be!
We also met with Marty Kady.
He was extremely intelligent and kind, and very straight forward about how tough it is to balance work and family in this industry.
It was really great to hear from EVERY angle of Politico - not only in their positions but the stages of life they are in, as well!
On a sad note - only about 8 more classes until the semester is completely over - I can't believe it! This has been the greatest three months of my life, so far. The relationships and connections have been bigger and greater than anything I could have ever imagined.
