The Newswomen's Club will be holding its annual group meeting on May 19. This is an open meeting for all members in which we'll review the work we've done in the past year, and discussing upcoming events. Stay tuned for further info in the weeks to come!

We're pleased to invite you to our Newswomen's Club of New York Spring Brunch at Park Rose NYC.

* All spots have now been claimed. *

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our clothing swap, including Ladio and Girls Write Now members. Thanks to everyone's generosity, attendees took home some new-to-them items and we donated dozens of items to Housing Works, Out of the Closet, and Bottomless Closet. We hope you can all join us next time. No clothing donations required to attend. 

We kicked off 2026 with our first brunch of the year at the new Carnegie Diner in Herald Square.

The Club held its annual Photography Showcase & Auction at the Penumbra Foundation. Thank you to our printing sponsor Canon!

Brunch, blooms, and the best bunch of newswomen! Our 2025 spring Newswomen’s brunch was hosted by Chef Jordan Andino at the Carriage House NYC. Members enjoyed Filipino-American shared plates, mimosas and networking.

Newswomen’s Club partnered with Same Skin to gather off-screen for a playful night of networking and charm bracelet making at Brooklyn Charm. Attendees were be able to pick their own chain and charms and make a custom charm necklace, bracelet or keychain while enjoying wine and cheese.

On Saturday, the Newswomen's Club hosted its biggest brunch yet! We welcomed 40 brilliant newswomen to BABA on Withers in Williamsburg for an afternoon of great food, wine and conversation. 

Our guests included writers, producers, and correspondents from CNN, CNBC, CBS, Spectrum News NY1 — just to name a few. This is a great place to meet, mingle and network!

Throughout 2024, New York-area newswomen reported on some of the year’s most pressing issues, including climate change, women’s health, mental health, gun violence, immigration and the systemic issues facing our communities. The 87th annual Front Page Awards paid tribute to exceptional newswomen at local, regional and national outlets across the New York metropolitan area.

Forty incredible newswomen gathered at Frena to ring in the new year over a fabulous January brunch. Lively conversations, fresh connections — it was the perfect way to kick off 2025 — bringing together familiar faces and new friends in the industry.

A huge thank you to Frena and everyone who joined! Here’s to more opportunities to connect, collaborate, and celebrate in the months ahead. Stay tuned for our next gathering!

Newswomen’s Club held its first holiday brunch at Calle Dao. Thank you to all the members who joined us for an epic afternoon packed with delicious good and cocktails.

On Saturday, we hosted our Fall Brunch at Reyna Union Square. The Newswomen's Club warmly welcomed 24 ladies to a three-course brunch. Thank you to Reyna for offering our members a heavily subsidized rate. If you missed this one, stay tuned for our future brunch events! 

Our hearts and bellies were full after our first-ever Newswomen’s brunch! We were absolutely thrilled to welcome 26 lovely ladies to our first-ever Newswomen's Club Brunch at Milos Wine Bar at Hudson Yards.

Club members gathered in Central Park for a free meditation and yoga class, followed by mimosas and networking.

The Club held its first clothing swap. All remaining items were donated to Salvation Army.

Sam Barry, the editor-in-chief of Glamour, leads one of the biggest female-focused media titles in the U.S. Thank you, Sam, for joining the Club for a fireside chat!

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jan Hoffman, the Club’s 2023 Nellie Bly Award winner for Best Bylined Front Page Story, joined us for an intimate chat at our National Arts Club office.

The American Gilded Age (1868 to 1900) and its extreme extravagance continue to be a source of wonder and fascination, particularly for foodies. The style and excessiveness of this era has ties to modern popular culture through books, films, and television shows, including the Julian Fellowes TV series The Gilded Age on HBO.

Newswomen’s Club of New York members joined Becky Libourel Diamond as she discussed foods and stories from the Gilded Age as featured in her new book The Gilded Age Cookbook.

In a year where news developed at a breakneck speed, New York City's newswomen strove to highlight the human stories behind the headlines. They succeeded in doing so, sharing the stories of the people affected by war, migration crises, gun violence and climate change. Newswomen investigated the consequences of cuts and consolidations to the city's healthcare systems, exposed the cracks New York's school children are falling through and continued the ongoing fight against misinformation. 

Newswomen's Club member Amy Padnani spoke to fellow Newswomen about her  book, "Overlooked," based on the award-winning series of obituaries of remarkable women, people of color and others in history who never received a New York Times obit. Padnani signed copies of her work for attendees and delved into her research, assigning and editing processes. Emily Palmer, a senior crime writer at PEOPLE and a contributor to the series, moderated the lively discussion, held at the Newswomen's office in the National Arts Club. Thank you to Padnani and Palmer for sharing their insights - and to all who attended!

The Front Page Awards paid tribute to exceptional newswomen at local, regional, and national outlets across the New York metropolitan area. The event continued a tradition established 85 years ago when the New York Newspaper Woman’s Club (as The Newswomen’s Club of New York was then called) recognized women journalists whose bylined stories appeared on the front page, a rare occurrence for women in that era. Kudos to all the winners! (Photos by Brittainy Newman.)

More than 100 people from the world of media attended the Newswomen's Club's annual photo auction on June 9 at Hudson Yards - the first in-person event for the public since the pandemic. Approximately 60 photographers donated their journalistic works to the auction to benefit the club's programs and services. (Photos by Bethany Johnson)

We’d like to thank our sponsors, Fuji Film, Papi Wines, A Dutch Masterpiece, Royal Hollandia, Mighty Sesame Tahini, Absolutely Gluten Free Flatbreads, Wonder Melon Pressed Juice and We Are The New Farmers, for their generous donations!

Cheers! The Newswomen’s Club held the year’s first Happy Hour at the National Arts Club.
