This Friday, as a kick-off to Washington’s annual White House Correspondents Dinner weekend, NBC News Chairman Cesar Conde will host a belated grand opening for the network’s sleek new state-of-the-art studio at 400 North Capitol Street. A party for lawmakers, lobbyists and other D.C. power players will be preceded by a private reception for staff. Conde will make some brief remarks, presumably commending the essential work of NBC and MSNBC journalists, who rightly deserve his praise, and the D.C. rank and file will get drinks, appetizers and a rare opportunity to shake hands with a high-level executive who usually splits his time between New York and Miami.
