Los Angeles Press Club traces its origins back to 1913. Originally founded by newspapermen, today we speak for all journalists across all media platforms. We encourage--and reward--quality journalism through two annual contests. The 55th Annual Southern California Journalism Awards, with a Call for Entries in January. The 5th Annual National Entertainment Awards in August. The LA Press Club offers a number of membership benefits: --Press ID for qualified reporters --Panels and workshops twice a month -- Discounts for contest entries --Facilities for screening documentaries --Facilities for news conferences
