Thanks for noticing Jeffrey. However, let me clear up a few things.

First I am an honorary board member of the Los Angeles Press Club, and no longer actively involved, but I do continue to support the club, its leadership and its goals as a nonprofit service organization. With corporate speak creeping into journalism, and bloggers muddying the waters abut what it all means to be a professional journalist, it is a time for those who believe the media is a profession to work together to uphold the highest standards.

The LA Press Club awards for 49 years have helped do that.
