Why We Chose the National Press Club

We chose to host the America First Correspondents’ Dinner at the historic National Press Club because it is one of the most iconic institutions in American journalism and public life. For more than a century, presidents, world leaders, authors, diplomats, and influential media voices have stood on its stage to shape national conversations and announce ideas that helped define their moment in history.

Holding this inaugural dinner at the National Press Club reflects our commitment to honoring that tradition while opening the doors to a new generation of independent journalists, creators, and media leaders shaping the future of American storytelling. It was important to us that this event take place not just anywhere in Washington—but in a venue that symbolizes the legacy, responsibility, and evolution of the American press itself

ABOUT THE EVENT

The America First Correspondents’ Dinner is a distinguished evening in Washington that brings together influential voices, leaders, and honored guests whose presence reflects the ideas, conversations, and relationships helping shape the future of America. The event responds to growing concerns that independent and digital-first outlets are underrepresented in traditional Washington press structures despite their expanding national audiences and growing global influence.

Held the same evening as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, this inaugural gathering establishes a new national platform recognizing the voices shaping the future of American journalism.

At a time when culture, media, and leadership continue to redefine the national landscape, this dinner convenes those who do more than observe these changes—they help influence and lead them.

The evening is thoughtfully assembled to bring together leaders across media, business, public life, and national influence in an atmosphere defined by purpose, distinction, and meaningful exchange.

Guests may expect a carefully curated program, notable honorees, and a setting that encourages conversation, connection, and a shared appreciation for the role that courageous public voices continue to play in shaping the American story.

More than a social gathering, it stands as a reflection of alignment, access, and national significance—bringing the right people together at the right moment, and creating the kind of presence and proximity that extends well beyond a single evening.

Above all, it serves as a tribute to the courageous voices and principled journalism that remain steadfast in defense of truth, liberty, and the enduring values of putting America first.

The America First Correspondents Dinner honors journalists committed to independent reporting, First Amendment values, and serving the American public.
