Former Club president discusses state of journalism, technology, First Amendment support

The Internet is a global distribution platform, but along with such unprecedented technology and capability to instantly communicate, there are many overarching questions: What is the state of press freedom? How often is the First Amendment observed? What is the status of freedom of information? And how has the media changed from the 1960s to today?

In the latest episode of Update-1, National Press Club Broadcast/Podcast Team member Lincoln Smith interviews former Club President Mark Hamrick, who addresses these questions and more.

Club Broadcast/Podcast team co-vice chair Mike Hempen produces Update-1. The podcast can be heard on the Club website or on iTunes, Stitcher and TuneIn.
