It Wouldn't be Springtime in Washington Unless...
There was yet another C-SPAN request to gain access to the town’s famous Gridiron dinner. And another denial.
C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb wrote to USA TODAY Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page, president of this year’s event: “It wouldn’t be springtime in Washington if the Gridiron Club didn’t hold it’s annual dinner and if C-SPAN didn’t renew it’s quarter-century old request to cover your event.” In short, he said, “It’s time. The public clamors for openness and transparency in Washington…”
But every year, the Gridiron Club has said no.
Page told FishbowlDC: A lot of people don’t understand the coverage rules of the Gridiron Dinner.
