Willy Wonka would be pleased at all the model eye candy at The White House Correspondents’ Association’s Red Carpet. The Actor’s Guild would be proud of their own. The media were finally getting recognized and athletes and politicians proved that “you can just get along.”

“Legend has it that reporters first took up a daily beat inside the White House one frigid day in the early 1900s, after President Theodore Roosevelt noticed a band of correspondents staking out sources in the rain. The president “looked out and took pity,” as one chronicle of the period reports it. But historians have since debunked that simple version of events, offering instead a richer tale about how reporters worked their way into the White House and then slowly expanded their presence over the years. This year, the White House Correspondents’ Association marks the 100th anniversary of its 1914 founding to advocate for reporters on that historic assignment. The group has grown and expanded its activities, in 1920 launching a spring dinner that now merits news coverage along with a yearly appearance by the sitting president. The journalists of today’s WHCA share the spirit of those early forerunners, pushing for access to the president and members of the administration amid the challenges of a modern media landscape.” WHCA
