The International Press Club of Chicago's goal is to promote domestic and foreign interoperability relationships with working, retired, and supporting members of the world press, public affairs, and academic communities.

This is accomplished through our ongoing programs of comprehensive and timely seminars and special events, postings on our website, distribution of newsletter and announcements, and our philanthropic support and scholarships to emerging young press members and students.

We promote personal relationships, through face-to-face and virtual meetings between our members and the respective members of Press Clubs world-wide with whom we share reciprocity agreements, at home in Chicago, abroad, and wherever our jobs or passions take us!

We believe in the power of positive journalism, where domestic and global information is communicated with objectivity, neutrality, and accuracy.
