The past year saw the spontaneous introduction of discussion evenings at the National Press Club. These evenings just happened and it worked. We discussed the court case between Moneyweb and Fin24, the dramas at the SABC, the role of women in the newsroom - to name a few. At our annual Percy Qoboza lecture, Kevin Ritchie addressed the role of the media in post-Apartheid South Africa. We hosted several newsmakers at media briefings throughout the year. Some briefings were more controversial than others and some made the news for the wrong reasons. We also celebrated our annual highlight on our calendar - our newsmaker event, sponsored by the Sefako Makgatho Health Sciences University. To become involved in the press club, contact the secretariat on martin@nationalpressclub.co.za

The next networking forum will be held on 11 July 2017, hosted by the Health Professions Council of South Africa. Great prizes to be won! More information from the secretariat.

Please send any news, suggestions or information for the newsletter to Martin van Niekerk at the secretariat on martin@nationalpressclub.co.za.
