Dallas Press Club Awards now seen as fraudulent

"Five months after the Press Club of Dallas handed out 179 awards for the best journalism and mass communications in the Southwest, the group's leaders said they can't name a single judge involved in picking those winners.

The Dallas Press Club counts some of the area's largest corporations among its supporters, as well as prominent media professionals.

The question of judges, canceled events, questionable credit card spending and the resignation of the group's president, show an organization in turmoil. These issues and others have led the foundation that supports the Press Club to pull its $4,000 monthly stipend."

And from the Dallas Morning News, "stunned" to find criminal background of recently departed president of Dallas Press Club who arranged ficticious judging.
  • From Dallas Morning News, 4/20/07, "Press Club Immersed in Turmoil."
