Event Coverage Highlight
PHOTOS & VIDEO: OPC Awards Dinner
The OPC’s 79th Annual Awards Dinner forged new ground this year, held for the first time at a new location, Cipriani 25 Broadway, as well as the launch of two newly named award categories. Keynote speaker Joseph Kahn, managing editor of The New York Times, struck an urgent note during his remarks, reminding attendees that “journalism at the moment is under relentless attack,” from critics, both domestic and abroad, who seek to undermine trust in media. José Díaz-Balart, news anchor for Noticias Telemundo and NBC News, hosted the awards. The club raised more than $22,000 in a text-to-pledge campaign for a special fund to support freelancers.
