CNN may broadcast "Inside Politics" from GWU
Source: GW Hatchet GW University officials say CNN is "planning" to broadcast the show "Inside Politics" at the Jack Morton Auditorium following the cancellation of "Crossfire," which has aired live from GW since April 2002. "This opens up more opportunities for GW students," Mike Freedman, GW's vice president for Communications, said in a phone interview Thursday afternoon. "We were thrilled to have 'Crossfire' here for three years, and we are most pleased to be continuing (CNN's) terrific partnership with GW."
Failing to land another CNN show would mark the loss of a valuable recruiting tool for the University. The 2005 Kaplan/Newsweek college guide dubbed GW the "hottest school for political junkies," partly because of its affiliation with "Crossfire," and dozens of students volunteer and intern for the show.
