National Press Club (Last reviewed in the Scout Report on March 3, 1995)

On a March day in 1908, 32 newspapermen met at the Washington Chamber of Commerce to discuss beginning a professional club for journalists. Over the past one hundred years, the National Press Club (NPC) has served as a meeting place for thousands of journalists and has also hosted important newsmakers like Boris Yeltsin, Golda Meir, and Indira Gandhi. First-time visitors can look over the calendar of events, learn about the Club's facilities, and read their "Freedom of the Press" section. Most casual visitors will want to begin by clicking over to the "Freedom of the Press" area. It's a great way to learn about the organization's work to promote freedom of the press throughout the United States through various advocacy projects. Visitors should also check out the "Speakers" section. This section offers "XM Satellite Radio Broadcasts from the Club" where visitors can listen to a variety of NPC Luncheon Speakers, Newsmakers and other newsworthy events as well as original roundtable discussions.
