RTCA Dinners
As is the case with the similar but more exclusive WHCA Dinner,[5] the attention given to the Association's activities are far outweighed by the focus on the dinner's guest list and pre-dinner receptions and post-dinner parties hosted by various media organizations.[5][6]
Also as is true of the
Notable RTCA dinners

In 1995, President [[Bill Clinton|Bill Clinton[clarification needed]]].[8] In 1996, speaker Don Imus made coarse jokes[9][10][11] about President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, which White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry termed "tasteless".[12]

In 2007, President George W. Bush attended the event for the third time,[3] and JibJab premiered its latest satiric animation, What We Call The News[14][15]
On Tuesday, June 16, 2009, president Barack Obama and humorist, author, and actor John Hodgman were the headline speakers at the 2009 RTCA Dinner.[16] At the dinner, JibJab premiered its animated video, "He's Barack Obama."[17][18]
