White House Reporter Ben Feller Reminds Us That Accuracy Is Vital to His Job

Just got an email from Ben Feller ’92 Com, who I interviewed for the cover story in our May/June issue. He wrote to share a PDF link to our Q&A on the Associated Press site, and to share his story (which ran in today’s Washington Post, along with who knows how many other papers) about soaking White House press secretary Robert Gibbs in a charity event on the White House lawn.

Here’s Ben’s take:

Hope all is well in the homeland. Thanks once more for the fair and generous coverage in the last issue. I’m still getting nice words my way.

Speaking of….the AP Web site now features your work, giving The Penn Stater a nice worldwide splash.

Also, I thought you’d get a kick out of what happened yesterday. Definitely a new highlight. Here is my first-person story.

Penn State proud,

Ben

He also sent a short video of his dunk-tank success, which I can’t seem to figure out how to post just now. Hopefully we can throw that up on the blog sometime Monday.
