The University Press Club is an organization of Princeton University undergraduates who work as professional freelance journalists for local, regional, and national publications. It is the only student-run group of its kind in the country. Press Club alumni have gone on to careers in journalism at publications including The New York Times, the Washington Post, Vanity Fair, Forbes, and the New Yorker and have won the Pulitzer Prize.


In addition to freelancing, Press Club members also run a blog called The Ink, covering campus events at Princeton.

Overview


The University Press Club is a highly selective group of undergraduate students who write professionally for a variety of newspapers and magazines in the northeast and United States. The club was founded in 1900, making it one of the oldest student organizations at Princeton University. Members typically write for a number of papers during their three or four years with the club, filing stories on a range of topics from speeches at the University, higher education trends, and events at Ivy League schools. In the past year, members have been published in papers such as The New York Times, TIME, USA Today, the South China Morning Post, the Atlantic, the Star-Ledger, the Asbury Park Press, and the Times of Trenton.[1]


Members are chosen through a three-month application process called Candidates Period. During Candidates Period, candidates write fifteen mock articles across three "folders," or sections of the application process, and submit them for consideration to Club members. Each candidate meets one-on-one with a Club member after each folder to discuss their stories and receive feedback.[2]


Press Clubbers cover breaking news, feature stories, and sporting events at Princeton University and in the surrounding community. As stringers, each member works with professional editors and is paid on a per-story basis.


On campus, the University Press Club regularly sponsors lectures and events for the Princeton community, including the annual Louis Rukeyser ’54 Memorial Lecture Series, which brings prominent journalists to the university. Past speakers include Jill Abramson formerly with The New York Times, David Remnick ’81 from the New Yorker, Evan Thomas from Newsweek, Jim Kelly ’76 from Time, Matthew Cooper formerly with Time, and Todd Purdum ’82 from Vanity Fair. The University Press Club also hosts dinners with visiting journalism professors and alumni throughout the year.[3]


The Press Club is advised and guided by an Alumni Board, made up of Club alumni from a wide range of graduation years.



History


The Press Club was founded in April 1900 by undergraduate journalists who worked as correspondents for newspapers across the country. The club was conceived as a collective reporting enterprise that would pool quotes and leads, and membership was sold to the highest bidder.


In 1915 the Club introduced an application process called candidates period. Over the course of three months, applicants would conference with current members of the club to eventually produce three folders of full-length news stories.[4]


In 1979, a group of Press Club members founded the campus weekly student newspaper the Nassau Weekly.[4]
