Since the Press Club website hasn’t changed in eons, I’d be interested in knowing what this great new board was/is doing. At least EA brought in professional development, etc.

Since the Dallas Press are all also members of the Heritage Alliance, why couldn’t you just combine the two groups? All you would need to do is read some of jrp’s comments and realize he is on the board. That will give one a general direction and where this is headed and the reason that Katie would a result of incest.

The Press Club was in decline before a working journalist brought it to its knees. The problem is the same for the club as it is with the yesteryear “giants” in our industry.

For the Press Club to survive and thrive, it must get its head out of the center of the city and realize that the strength of this metropolitan area (Wick, I dislike Metroplex, too.)is the total of what we are–the city and the suburbs, large companies and small companies…we are a region and organizations like the Press Club must come to realize that.

It’s called The Press Club, not the Press/PR Club. Let the media join and run it or drop it. Let the pr people create their own club or join PRSA.

Quite frankly after last year’s debacle and the fact that the responsible person was more or less let off, I can see why the media (corporations and individuals) would not to jump on board.

Could it be that the Dallas Press Club is like Miss Haversham’s cake? It’s day has come and gone and it’s now decaying.

I’ve always had to pay my own Press Club dues – last year I did it mostly out of solidarity, I think, given everything that happened.

And amanda’s right, TW. You’re not invited to join, it’s voluntary.

No offense TW, but the PC is a voluntary membership. Would be members have to fill out an application, be screened,approved, etc., but to my knowledge the PC doesn’t schlep around begging people to join. If he has been in the business for 10 years, and received Katies, I think he would know that…maybe he was/is just apathetic, and that’s the problem.

I have a buddy who has been a writer at the DMN for more than a decade. He told me he has never, ever been asked to join the Press Club. He has won a couple of Katies, but other than the contest he said he never hears from the Press Club. Maybe there’s your problem with membership and support.
