Reserve now to use a Club workspace for journalists covering inauguration

The National Press Club will offer workspaces for journalists covering the presidential inauguration next week.  

The 59th Inaugural events for President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris will begin on Monday, Jan. 18, and run through Wednesday, Jan. 20. For the safety and security of our members and staff, the Club will be open only to credentialed journalists with confirmed reservations on Tuesday, Jan. 19, and Wednesday, Jan. 20.  The Club will be closed on Monday, Jan. 18, in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

Credentialed journalists interested in reserving a workspace at the Club should do so online. Reservations are free for members and $50 per day for non-members. All journalists must show proof of their White House- or Capitol Hill-issued press pass. Once you’ve made a reservation, you will be placed on a wait list until you are approved by the Club. Confirmation will be sent to you once you are approved. Walk-ins will not be permitted. 

In accordance with District of Columbia guidelines to help control the spread of COVID-19, the Reliable Source Restaurant and the Fourth Estate Restaurant will be closed and absolutely no food or drink will be allowed in the Club. 

Masks or other approved face coverings are required inside the Club, and individuals will be required to pass a COVID-19 screening and temperature check before entry. If you have recently traveled out of state, you are required to show a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of arrival in DC.
