Press club

A press club is an organization for journalists and others who are professionally engaged in the production and dissemination of news.[1] A press club whose membership is defined by the press of a given country may be known as a National Press Club of that country.

Press clubs for foreign correspondents are called Foreign Correspondents' Clubs.

In Japan, press clubs are called kisha clubs. They often create close relationships to their sources, effectively monopolizing the news.[1][2] They also often institute "blackboard agreements", in which they agree not to report stories until a certain date.[1]
