The National Press Club elected its 106th president this past December, choosing Bloomberg News reporter Angela Greiling-Keane to lead the club for the year. She was inaugurated on Jan. 26.

Host Jamila Bey spoke with Greiling-Keane to discuss how to improve press freedom, training for mid-career level journalists and how to improve parity in terms of women as reporters, but also covering women who make the news.

The first presidential debate is just over a week away, but that doesn’t mean the two parties haven’t already started preparing.

Both GOP nominee Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama appeared on CBS’ “60 Minutes” on Sunday night, giving Americans a likely preview of the upcoming debate.

Then on Monday, the National Press Club hosted a debate between top economic advisers integral to the formulation of the economic policy platforms of the two campaigns. Kevin Hassett represented Romney and Jeffrey Liebman spoke for Obama.

For more information, host Jamila Bey spoke with Voice of Russia correspondent Carmen Russell-Sluchansky, who attended Monday’s debate.
