White House Correspondents' Association

:  The WHCA is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) membership organization located in Washington DC.  Our members are print, wire, television, radio and online journalists and photojournalists who cover the White House for a broad range of media outlets in the U.S. and abroad. The WHCA's mission is to ensure a strong free press and robust coverage of the presidency by advocating for access to the president, White House events and administration officials. We also work to encourage new generations of White House correspondents through our college scholarship program.  We celebrated our 100th anniversary in 2014.
