C-SPAN’s Election Bus in Austin
C-SPAN’s Election Bus is coming to Austin tomorrow
Altough C-SPAN itself may not be as exciting as a VH1 Behind the Music special, the C-SPAN Election Bus is a great insight into what goes on behind the TV.
The Bus came to RRHS last year and several of Ms. Esler’s AP-Government students were actually on Television and asked live questions to an expert in Washington. It was an amazing experience. Right afterwards, I took a class onto the bus for a guided tour.
If you have the time, it’s worth visiting!
(And if school were in session you’d get extra credit just for going.)
July 16th, 2008: 9:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. at the University of Texas Jesse Jones Communications Center
