SJMC students get insiders' view of GOP debate
Last week, journalism students chronicled the frenzy leading up to Saturday's GOP debate. They interned with ABC News, worked for the Times-Delphic, got behind-the-scenes tours or were in the audience for the debate itself. We've also included tweets from ABC News journalists.
