Freelance Committee Breakfast

The NPC Freelance Committee, a standing committee of the club, will be having regular monthly meetings and events for NPC members who are or interested in becoming freelance news journalists. First meeting is Tuesday March 29 at 8:30 a.m. for (free) breakfast in the McClendon Rm.

The Chairman is Peggy Orchowski, Congressional Reporter for the Hispanic Outlook on Higher Education magazine. "The goal of the committee is to help club members who are freelance news and feature journalists without a newsroom, to meet their particular needs and to help them develop as a vital part of the news reporting network in Washington DC and around the world," Peggy says.

Meetings will consist of introductions (JAWS style - come find out what that means), a featured speaker and a discussion. The March 29 meeting will feature Karen Thuermer, a long-time experienced freelance journalist, NPC member and former editor who will share TIPS FOR SUCCEEDING AS A FREELANCE NEWS JOURNALIST. The discussion will focus on how NPC could help freelance members in terms of services, programs and events -- the newsroom they don't have and that would attract other freelancers to join the club.
