Letter from the President of the Orange County Press Club to BlogCrush Members

Dear BlogCrush Members:

On behalf of the OC Press Club, I’m pleased to be partnering with BlogCrush
on the Blogging/New Media Panel & Mixer.

The world of journalism has been changing rapidly. Traditional reporters continue to embrace social media and incorporate it into their ever-expanding roles, more and more online-only news sites are being launched, and the “new journalism” world is filled with bloggers who provide niche news to faithful followers.

The OC Press Club recognizes the importance of all media – traditional and new – and welcomes bloggers and others to join the OC Press Club. Our annual Journalism Awards Contest held every July has several new categories for bloggers, but of course you must be a member of the OC Press Club to enter. I encourage you to participate in the Press Club as we plan more fun events and mixers for 2011-2012.

I look forward to seeing you on Nov. 9. You’ll be able to meet the Press Club board and members, and learn more about the OC Press Club.

Sincerely,

Christopher Trela
President, OC Press Club
