Atlanta Press Club

The Atlanta Press Club was founded in 1964 and has grown to become one of the largest and most dynamic professional journalism associations in the country. Our membership encompasses Atlanta’s burgeoning media community including print, broadcast and online, big and small, national and local media outlets. Over half of our 800-plus members are working journalists. The balance is public relations professionals, educators, retirees and students. As a professional and networking organization, APC hosts educational and social programs every month. Our monthly programs take a challenging look at how journalists are doing their jobs. Recent topics have included 'The 24-Hour News Cycle', 'Covering the Suburbs', and 'Anonymous Sources'. Each month the Press Club also hosts a local or national newsmaker to speak to its membership. Recent speakers include Former President Jimmy Carter, Shepard Smith of FOX News Channel and Arthur Blank, owner and CEO of the Atlanta Falcons and the Georgia Force.
