The Foreign Press Center organized a reporting tour and set-up a full service work space in Iowa and New Hampshire to assist foreign journalists covering the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire Primaries.  Over 250 foreign reporters representing 44 countries and 182 media organizations participated in the two programs.  FPC staff assisted journalists by providing information packets about the election process, organized briefings and one-on-one interviews, provided daily candidate schedules and arranged site visits to the caucuses and polls.
