As you’ll see, we have a long tradition—but we are PRESIDENT not traditional. We’ve always served journalists. WNow we’re linking to the larger community. We’re reaching out, rethinking how journalists relate to the world around them. Take our latest move, in September 2005, to Los Feliz and the Center for Inquiry across from Barnsdall Park. It’s centrally located—with a comfortable theater and easy parking that makes programs and meetings a breeze. We are the only local journalists’ group with such a versatile venue. Our location has attracted foundation ofcials, politicians, lmmakers, writers, students, small business owners, and the elderly to our programs this year. And the goodwill from our landlord (and sometime programming partner) Center for Inquiry West is key. Of course, the Press Club hasn’t forgotten our core group—journalists. We work with the Society of Professional Journalists, the Radio Television News Association, American 7 Anthea Raymond Women in Radio and Television, New America Media, and others to ght for freedom of expression, access, and diversity. We’re well-known for our vigilance toward the Brown Act, and plan to stay active on Sunshine issues. We’re now helping to redene how LAPD Press Credentials are issued. Stay tuned for more on that. But rst and foremost, enjoy and appreciate tonight’s dinner. It requires thousands of hours of work by board members and other volunteers—and our dynamic Executive Director Diana Ljungaeus. In her three years on staff, she’s shown the rest of us the importance of persistence and vision in bringing the Press Club back to full health. Kudos to her and all who’ve come through again and again. And how about you? Consider getting involved, by organiz- ing programs, tending bar or joining the board of directors.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.
