National Press Club Centennial Forum
Journalism is changing. The Internet's impact cannot
be ignored. Some predict the end of the printed newspaper.
While media executives are rushing to adjust their business models, consumers wonder whether the quality of their news is diminishing. Will most of us
watch the nightly news on our cell phones? Are First Amendment rights falling by the wayside?
The National Press Club, the world's leading journalism
organization, celebrates its 100th anniversary by
visiting select cities to address these vital issues. This
historic national dialogue, among the leading journalists
of our day, ends with a visit to Naples - the only
Florida stop on the tour.
A panel of prominent Florida journalists from print,
broadcast, the Internet, and education will examine the
changing dynamics of the profession. The program will
be recorded as part of a documentary film project.
Join us for the civic event of the year, bringing national
exposure to the City of Naples.
All guests will receive a FREE DVD,
A Century of Headlines,
produced by the National Press Club |
FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
RESERVE TICKETS WHILE THEY LAST!
