Press Club of New Orleans

The Press Club of New Orleans strives to balance its endeavors among the profession, the educational and the social. An annual awards banquet encourages and rewards excellence in the print and broadcast media, as well as public relations. The Gridiron Show, the Press Club’s major social and fundraiser of the year, provides journalists with their one opportunity to abandon objectivity and fairness in favor of humor and fun. This roast of politicians and other newsmakers is staged each spring. Professional development seminars on such topics as ethics and libel give insight and provide a forum for dialogue. Scholarship competitions reward promising students with leanings toward journalism and communication. A monthly media mixer leads the list of social and networking events. A newsletter and our website offer Press Club scoop and other information for working media professionals and educators.
