The White House Correspondents' Association (WHCA) is an organization of journalists who cover the White House and the President of the United States. The WHCA was founded on February 25, 1914 by journalists in response to an unfounded rumor that a United States congressional committee would select which journalists could attend press conferences of President Woodrow Wilson.[4]

The WHCA operates independently of the White House. Among the more notable issues handled by the WHCA are the credentialing process, access to the President and physical conditions in the White House press briefing rooms.[5][6] Its most high-profile activity is the annual White House Correspondents' Dinner, which is traditionally attended by the President and covered by the news media.

It's important to note that not every member of the White House press corps is a member of the White House Correspondents' Association.

Association leadership, 2017-2018

The current leadership team of the White House Correspondents' Association includes:[5]

White House Correspondents' Dinner

Wikimedia Commons has media related to White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

The WHCA's annual dinner, begun in 1921,[10] has become a Washington, D.C. tradition and is traditionally attended by the president and vice president.[4] Fifteen presidents have attended at least one WHCA dinner, beginning with Calvin Coolidge in 1924.[4] The dinner is traditionally held on the evening of the last Saturday in April at the Washington Hilton.

Until 1962, the dinner was open only to men, even though WHCA's membership included women. At the urging of Helen Thomas, President John F. Kennedy refused to attend the dinner unless the ban on women was dropped.[11]

Prior to World War II, the annual dinner featured singing between courses, a homemade movie, and an hour-long, post-dinner show with big-name performers.[4] Since 1983, however, the featured speaker has usually been a comedian, with the dinner taking on the form of a 'roast' of the president and his administration.

The dinner also funds scholarships for gifted students in college journalism programs.[12]

Many annual dinners have been cancelled or downsized due to deaths or political crises. The dinner was cancelled in 1930 due to the death of former president William Howard Taft; in 1942, following the United States' entry into World War II; and in 1951, over what President Harry S. Truman called the "uncertainty of the world situation".[13] In 1981, Ronald Reagan did not attend because he was recuperating after the attempted assassination on his life the previous month.[14]

President Donald Trump did not attend the dinner in 2017, and has stated he is not planning to in 2018.[15]

Dinner criticisms

The WHCD has been increasingly criticized as an example of the coziness between the White House press corps and the administration.[16] The dinner typically includes a skit, either live or videotaped, by the sitting president in which he mocks himself, for the amusement of the press corps.[16] The press corps, in turn, hobnobs with administration officials, even those who are unpopular and are not regularly cooperative with the press.[16] Increasing scrutiny by bloggers has contributed to added public focus on this friendliness.[16]

After the 2007 dinner, New York Times columnist Frank Rich implied that the Times would no longer participate in the dinners.[17] Rich wrote that the dinner had become "a crystallization of the press's failures in the post-9/11 era" because it "illustrates how easily a propaganda-driven White House can enlist the Washington news media in its shows".[17]

Other criticism has focused on the amount of money actually raised for scholarships, which has decreased over the past few years.[18]

In recent years, the dinners have drawn increasing public attention, and the guest list grows "more Hollywood".[6] The attention given to the guest list and entertainers often overshadows the intended purpose of the dinner, which is to "acknowledge award-winners, present scholarships, and give the press and the president an evening of friendly appreciation".[6] This has led to an atmosphere of coming to the event only to "see and be seen".[6] This usually takes place at pre-dinner receptions and post-dinner parties hosted by various media organizations, which are often a bigger draw and can be more exclusive than the dinners themselves.[19][20][21]

April 30, 2011 Seth Meyers[71][72][73] Both President Barack Obama and then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates were seen laughing at Meyers' jokes about the government's apparent inability to track down Osama Bin Laden, even though they were a day away from the operation to assassinate him.

President Obama and Meyers also mocked then-Celebrity Apprentice host Donald Trump's role as the face of the birther movement. Trump would go on to be elected President of the United States five years later in the 2016 United States presidential election. Journalists that were present at the dinner say that being mocked by President Obama and Meyers led him to decide to run for President of the United States, but Trump would later deny this, saying that he had been considering running for President for many years prior to the dinner.[74]

At the end of the speech, Wilmore ended his set by thanking President Obama for having been the country's first black President and finished his speech by calling him "my nigga" on live television. This remark sparked controversy among the media, calling it disrespectful.[89]
April 29, 2017 Hasan Minhaj[90][91] President Donald Trump did not attend the dinner.[92][93]

The Washington Post journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein presented awards and spoke about the importance of the First Amendment.[93][94]
