   Press Club's Blurbs
About me:
The almost 500-member Los Angeles Press Club has outlived most of the city's newspapers, having been launched shortly after 1900 when Wilshire Boulevard was still a dirt trail to the ocean and the most gracious mansions in the city were on knolls immediately surrounding downtown.

Leading up to World War I, the club was located above Dick Ferris' office on 327 South Hill Street downtown, and served as a gathering spot for journalists in the rowdy days when a half-dozen daily newspapers, loudly promoting their sometimes extreme political views, served the small but fast-growing city.

With the Great Depression of the 1930s, followed by World War II, the club ceased operations. But the need for journalists to get together did not fade. After World War II, on September 24, 1946, newsmen from the surviving four daily newspapers founded the Greater Los Angeles Press Club. Since Los Angeles Press Club was taken by a nightclub we became the Greater...The nightclub is no longer around and we have reposessed our real name.

Free to its members, the club distributes by e-mail the 8 Ball Newsletter. The club website, www.lapressclub.org contains useful journalistic tools, contacts, information on upcoming events, our annual Southern California Journalism Awards and applications for membership.

I'm hoping it's a little higher but we're trying to be more multi-media as we move forward.

Should be interesting to see how many Press Club members actually have a Myspace page...I'm guessing 10%, if that.
