The National Press Club Journalism Institute has appointed Beth Francesco, an experienced educator, press freedom advocate and editor, as the organization’s next executive director.
Francesco was unanimously approved to lead the organization, which is the nonprofit affiliate of the National Press Club, as it redefines and expands its professional development offerings and press freedom initiatives in light of journalists’ evolving needs. The Institute serves thousands of journalists throughout the country through its webinars, afternoon newsletter, scholarships and other resources.
Francesco has served as interim executive director since October, when Julie Moos left the role after shepherding a period of rapid growth and a pivot to fully virtual services during the challenging circumstances brought on by the COVID pandemic.
