The National Press Club, the world's leading professional organization for journalists, is coming to Chicago June 4 to present its centennial documentary and hold a discussion among leading local journalists on the First Amendment, freedom of the press and the future of journalism.
The event will begin at 6:30 p.m. at Columbia College's Film Row Cinema, 1104 S. Wabash Ave.
The event will begin with the showing of "A Century of Headlines," which follows the history of American journalism through the lens of one of its leading institutions. Founded in 1908, the National Press Club has been a gathering spot of newsmakers and journalists in the nation's capital.
The panel will be moderated by Gil Klein, a veteran national correspondent, a past Club president and the author of the Club's centennial history, "Reliable Sources: 100 Years at the National Press Club."
