Five SIU journalism students traveled to Washington, D.C. to cover the inauguration of President Donald Trump on January 20th. They covered the events for the Daily Egyptian, the student-run campus newspaper.

WSIU talked with Enan Chediak, Lylee Gibbs, and Dominique Martinez Powell about the trip, their coverage, and what they learned from the experience.

Carly Gist, and Will Elliot were also part of the group who made the trip. You can see the students' work at The Daily Egyptian's website https://dailyegyptian.com/
