What Do You Think of the New Site Design?

The National Press Club's new website design debuts today, with access to thousands of luncheons televised over three decades, larger photos and a more-efficient search function on a revamped www.press.org .

An easier-to-read daily calendar and a spotlight on events that showcase the best of the National Press Club to the world will help the Press Club live up to its name as the world's leading professional organization for journalists, said Club President Alan Bjerga. As it continues to evolve, the site will better serve its members and the journalism it values.

"The Club is a place where news happens, where journalism's future is built and its past is celebrated,' he said. "The new press.org brings all those services together, improving the Club's `Virtual Clubhouse' while drawing people to our physical space here in Washington, D.C.'

Because Internet providers worldwide will be individually updating their records to the new site, the old design may appear on some computers for the rest of this week. Additional improvements are planned to the site in the next few months as members test-drive the new design and suggest improvements.

"No site is perfect immediately, and in the days to come we'll learn more about how we can make this an even better Web site,' Bjerga said. "Member comments are welcome."
