Filmed at the Radisson Hotel, Manchester NH, on Primary Day 2012. Jeff Santos speaks with journalist Steve Scully, host of Washington Journal on C-SPAN television and President of the White House Correspondents’ Association about C-SPAN’s mission in covering the election cycle.

Jeff talks with Steve about how covering the political candidates and presidential campaigns has changed over the years. Steve Scully also explains that C-SPAN covers 3rd Party conventions because they are part of the process that people need to be informed about: as he says: “if we don’t do it, who else will?”

Steve Scully talks about “C-SPAN in the Classroom” , a resource C-SPAN uses to work with educators and schools to inform and energize students so that they can get an unfiltered look at the political process and choose to get involved.
