Our IN THE NOW

St. Louis Press Club's online initiative, featuring conversations with St. Louis-area professional communicators, continues.

Looking Back. Imagining the Future.
Communications colleagues speak with St. Louis Press Club board member, Jessica Z. Brown Billhymer,
on work and life during a pandemic, protests, economic stress and a community facing frank and varied discussions about racism.

In early 2020, it became clear to the St. Louis Press Club (STLPC) pivoting to a new way of connecting with community was a must, with the usual and varied local on-the-ground programming having to take on a new fa... READ MORE. There are four takeaways from these conversations:  1. Media communicators are adept at pivoting to new solutions in the face of disruption.  2. Technology's role as a star and integral player, in our society and in the communications business, is dynamic and key to connecting all stakeholders, and is invaluable in facilitating collaborative team energy to meet deadlines and provide uninterrupted public service.  3. Media institutions and individuals seriously take safety of others as a primary concern during a pandemic and civil unrest.  4. Communicators reveal honest, inspirational feelings of wins, losses and amazement regarding their and colleagues' communications journey. And, we learn from these professionals what it takes to do their jobs in these times, and what it means to carry on, no matter what.

Lori Becker & Dallas Adams St. Louis Press Club's Our IN THE NOW with Lori Becker, Chief Operating Officer, Starkloff Disability Institute, and Dallas Adams, Communications Manager, August 18, 2020; running time: 43:51. Becker and Adams detail what the Institute had to do to pivot to a virtual space to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act in the face of the pandemic. This meant continuing communications for both those with disabilities and the non disabled who partner with Starkloff in providing accommodations for the disabled. "We had to re-imagine what that looks like and step up....., " Adams said. Becker added: "For all of our programming ..we pivoted and turned into all virtual programming when the pandemic hit.

St. Louis Press Club's President's Letter to the Editor: Letter: Governor's threats endanger freedom of the press https://www.stltoday.com/opinion/mailbag/letter-governors-threats-endanger-freedom-of-the-press/article_274127c4-d95d-5788-bf56-3f4f8e02265a.html Regarding the editorial "Parson attacks reporter who discovered teachers' personal data on state website" (Oct. 15): Amid all the recent accusations and threats by Gov. Mike Parson to punish the Post-Dispatch for revealing a significant security flaw in the state’s online database, the most disturbing element is the state’s underlying threat to the freedom of the press for the news media doing its job. Publicly accusing the Post-Dispatch, let alone an individual reporter, of wrongdoing without definitive evidence is at the very least irresponsible. As St. Louis Society of Professional Journalists’ President Elizabeth Donald recently said: “Covering the state’s embarrassment with threats of prosecution is unworthy of a governor sworn to uphold the Constitution.” These unwarranted accusations have received well-deserved negative nationwide attention directed at Parson. A follow-up story showed security for databases for Missouri's teachers, current and retired, badly needs updating. That should be the focus of the governor and the state's education officials. Parson should not only publicly apologize for his remarks, he should also applaud the Post-Dispatch for its professionalism in sharing this information and helping protect those who were put at financial security risk. Freedom of the press and reliable reporting are now, more than ever, critically important. If Missouri is truly the Show-Me State that cares about honest, in-depth reporting, show the Post-Dispatch the respect it deserves for presenting the facts to uphold the integrity of the state’s educational infrastructure and to protect our educators who are essential to our children’s future. Joan Lee Berkman • St. Louis County   President, St. Louis Press Club and the St. Louis Press Club Board of Directors Read more www.stltoday.com Our President thought this was an important story to share. Parson issues legal threat against Post-Dispatch after database flaws exposed Jack Suntrup , Kurt Erickson https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/govt-and-politics/parson-issues-legal-threat-against-post-dispatch-after-database-flaws-exposed/article_93f4d7d6-f792-5b1b-b556-00b5cac23af3.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=email&utm_campaign=user-share JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Mike Parson lashed out at the St. Louis Post-Dispatch on Thursday, two days after the newspaper informed the state of a data risk that left 100,000 Social Security numbers vulnerable to public disclosure.

To Be Rescheduled:

Press Club's Friday Lunch Forum on
“The Fight for Women's Suffrage – Hard Lessons Learned”

The fight for Women’s Suffrage in the US was long and arduous. Passage of the 19th Amendment on Aug 26, 1920 was an epic achievement, yet the journey was fraught with racism and divisive politics. What allowed the final victory to occur? Why did women’s suffrage groups choose strategies that marginalized black women, telling noted black women leaders to “walk in the back of the parade”? Do we still face these hard choices in our strategies to build coalitions and advance causes in today’s political world?

Two panelists and a moderator will share the history of this great achievement along with perspectives that will help us make better strategic choices in today’s political arena.
Panelists will take questions and then together address the question: “How can we learn to strategize stronger partnerships through these hard lessons?”

Press Club's Friday Lunch Forum on
“PAY EQUITY”

Noon, Feb. 21, 2020
