NPC’s 116th President Prioritizes Press Freedom, Media Literacy And In-Person Events

Eileen O’Reilly, managing editor of standards and training at Axios, recently began her one-year term as the 116^th president of the National Press Club. In this episode of Update-1, O’Reilly speaks with Broadcast/Podcast Team Co-Vice Chair Adam Konowe about her priorities in office. Not surprisingly, press freedom and media literacy top the agenda, but so do in-person events to help journalists and communicators derive maximum benefit from their membership. O’Reilly also discussed the importance of demystifying and humanizing journalism to help stem a slide in trust not just here in the United States, but in other democratic countries around the world.
