On Update-1, NPC’s 116th president lists her priorities for the Club: press freedom, media literacy, in-person events

In the current episode of Update-1, the National Press Club's podcast, Club President Eileen O'Reilly, who recently began her one-year term as NPC's 116th leader, speaks with Broadcast/Podcast Co-Vice Chair Adam Konowe about her priorities in office.

Not surprisingly, O'Reilly says that 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, who is managing editor of standards and training at Axios, also discusses importance of demystifying and humanizing journalism to help stem a slide in trust not just in the United States, but in other democratic countries around the world.
