Main Source of Revenue for Association

Event Features President Biden as Guest of Honor

The White House Correspondents Association (WHCA) has announced that its annual dinner will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2024. The dinner is a major event for the association, serving as its primary source of revenue and providing the opportunity to honor journalists and celebrate the freedom of the press.

The 2024 dinner will be an election-year roast of President Joe Biden, attended by journalists, celebrities, and politicians. The event will be broadcast live on C-SPAN at 8 pm ET.

The WHCA dinner has been a tradition since 1921, with a few exceptions during wartime and national security emergencies. The event is known for its humor and lighthearted atmosphere, while also providing an opportunity for the President and other attendees to engage with the media.

This year's dinner is expected to be a significant event, as it will be the first major gathering of journalists and politicians since the 2020 election. The dinner is also expected to provide a preview of the upcoming presidential campaign, as candidates from both parties will likely be in attendance.

The WHCA is a non-profit organization that represents journalists who cover the White House. The association's mission is to promote excellence in journalism and to defend the First Amendment rights of journalists.
