About Beth Francesco

I’ve seen firsthand how much stronger journalism — and our democracy — becomes when journalists have the support, training, and community they need to thrive.At the National Press Club Journalism Institute, I get to help journalists build skills, confidence, and resilience for a constantly changing industry. It’s leadership work, but also deeply personal: every program, partnership, and conversation is an investment in people who tell the stories that shape our world.That’s why I’m proud to do the work I do — to help sustain those who sustain the public’s right to know. It\'s work worth doing, every day.
