We encourage--and reward--quality journalism through two annual contests: The Southern California Journalism Awards held annually in June, and the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards held annually in December. LAPC provides fellowships for early-career journalists, scholarships for student journalists, and grants for important reporting.

If you encounter a problem in the field, email pressrights [at] lapressclub.org. Our mission: The Los Angeles Press Club exists to support, promote, and defend quality journalism in Southern California.

The Los Angeles Press Club shared this week that Evan Gershkovich, our WSJ colleague who has been wrongfully detained for 60 weeks, will receive the 2024 Daniel Pearl Award for Courage and Integrity in Journalism. “Evan’s situation is a stark and painful reminder of just how critical an independent and free press is today. There is nowhere Daniel Pearl’s legacy looms larger than The Wall Street Journal, and we’re incredibly grateful to the Los Angeles Press Club for recognizing Evan and for highlighting what’s at stake at a time when many are emboldened to silence journalists simply for doing their job,” said Paul Beckett, assistant editor for The Wall Street Journal.
