the more media outlets you have at your disposal the better. Although the school might not be the "best’ ( i dont know anything about it) you may have opportunities in Washington that you cant get anywhere else.
As far as richmond, I live in Richmond and am very familiar with the campus. What exactly are you looking for from a school other than the education? Its much much smaller, a complete change of scenery than Gtown. There is a real campus setting, its in the middle of the woods with a nice lake. There are few students, fewer minorities, but plenty of parties, coed dorms and plenty of interaction with nearby schools. VCU is 15 minutes away which has 40k+ students. The football team won the FCS title last year and the basketball team is typically pretty competitive as well.
Advantage to Richmond, is that it is a decent sized tv market (49 i think) its not far from dc, hampton roads/norfolk and the tri cities in nc. It could be a good place to get a foot in the door before making a step to a bigger market.
I’m not pushing Richmond, but I can give you its upsides and downsides, hope it helps
