Watching Washington - September 25, 2026

In the first episode of the fall semester, the students of Public Affairs Reporting at Purdue University recap a big week in political news... from a media ban at the White House to passionate speeches and walkouts at the United Nations. Plus, the issue of "flock cameras" in West Lafayette and a strong Pacific Hurricane. We'll recap the week's biggest headlines and sit down with the President of the National Press Club and Financial Services reporter of CQ Roll Call, Mark Schoeff, Jr. to talk about the issue of freedom of the press.
