Welcome to the Press Club of Dallas

The Press Club of Dallas is a dynamic organization of nearly 300 media, public relations and affiliated professionals in the North Texas area committed to promoting the field of journalism, communication, literacy, current affairs and First Amendment freedoms. The club continues today to evolve to meet the needs of communicators in our ever-changing industry by providing opportunities for professional development, networking, social activities and fundraising for college journalism scholarships.

The Press Club of Dallas membership includes bureau chiefs and cub reporters, journalism professors and first-year students, public relations professionals, freelancers, lawyers, doctors and others who deal with the media on a regular basis.

Membership is filled with those who strive for excellence in traditional and online media. In addition to the benefits of local membership, members of the Press Club of Dallas enjoy reciprocal privileges at other press clubs across the nation.

Networking with media and other communication professionals gives our members a forum to share information and experience and trade ideas, leads and best practices. Professional development seminars and symposiums explore topical issues that benefit working journalists and affiliated members, on subjects as broad as reporting on domestic violence, bankruptcy laws, the culture of Islam, effects of natural disasters and legislation that impacts media, such as patient privacy measures like HIPAA.
