Susan Page, Washington Bureau chief of USA TODAY and bestselling author, to receive Lifetime Achievement Award from Washington Press Club Foundation
Washington Press Club Foundation announced that Susan Page, Washington Bureau chief of USA TODAY and a New York Times bestselling author, will be honored with its Lifetime Achievement Award at its 80th Annual Congressional Dinner!
On LinkedIn, Page states: “In 1919, six pushy broads who weren’t allowed to join the National Press Club formed their own, and since then it has been supporting and celebrating women in journalism. I am thrilled to be receiving the Washington Press Club’s Lifetime Achievement Award at the foundation’s 80th annual dinner on Feb. 4. When I arrived in Washington as a junior reporter for Newsday in 1979, not a single news bureau of more than one person had a woman as bureau chief. Now women lead the Washington coverage of the Associated Press, Reuters, Bloomberg News, NPR, the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor and more — not to mention my three top bosses at USA TODAY.
“The Washington Press Club has been part of that evolution.
“Thank you, WPCF!”
