WASHINGTON, December 30, 2021 — Jen Judson, the land warfare reporter for Defense News, was elected as the 115th president of the National Press Club on Friday, December 10, 2021. She will officially assume the duties of the presidency in January 2022.
Judson delivered her acceptance remarks among fellow members at the Press Club, acknowledging the delight of being able to celebrate and gather in person once again:
“I have found the Club to be a haven of both inspiration and camaraderie in good times and bad, and my goal as President is to ensure this continues for all members. I also look forward to new members with a new, diverse array of attributes that will contribute to the continued success of the institution, especially as the nature of journalism rapidly evolves.”
As a faithful Press Club member for nearly a decade, Judson looks to continue the Club’s dedication to the field of journalism by supporting reporters day-to-day and upholding a significant pillar of our democracy.
“This coming year, as pandemic problems slowly fade, I hope we can sharpen our focus on matters of press freedom. As we know, the pandemic has only contributed to polarizing the public’s view of the press worldwide and has aided in the degradation of global press freedom. I hope to double down on Club efforts to promote a free press, help protect the press in danger, and repair public trust. To make headway on these goals will require time, hard work, and a lot of help from our membership,” Jed said.
As the land warfare reporter at Defense News for over six years, Judson has navigated the complicated bureaucracy of the Pentagon and Capitol Hill. In addition, she brings her previous experience tackling the challenges of reporting in smaller communities at local newspapers. She won the National Press Club’s best analytical reporting award in 2014 and was named the Defense Media Awards’ best young defense journalist in 2018. Judson had previously served as Club Secretary on the board, and later, as vice president to Lisa Nicole Matthews, the outgoing President.
“The Club has a solid leader in Jen Judson and her leadership team in continued uncertain times. I look forward to continued work with her and our membership,” said Matthews.
Judson holds a master of science degree in print journalism from Boston University and a bachelor of arts degree from Kenyon College.
An inaugural gala is scheduled early in 2022 for the Club’s new President.
Additional results of Friday’s Club election include Eileen Drage O’Reilly (Axios) as vice president; Michael Balsamo (The Associated Press) as secretary; Emily Wilkins (Bloomberg) as treasurer; and Gillian Rich (Investor’s Business Daily) as membership secretary. In addition, elected to the Board of Governors Journalist seat for three-year terms: Herb Jackson, Tara Copp, Alisa Parenti; Board of Governors Journalist seat for one-year terms: Mark Schoeff Jr. and Poonam Sharma; and Board of Governors Communicator seat for three years: Mike Smith.
Founded in 1908, the National Press Club is the World’s Leading Professional Organization for Journalistsâ¢. Located three blocks from the White House, the Club has as its members more than 3,000 reporters, editors, and expert communicators worldwide representing almost every leading news organization.

Sant’ Agata Bolognese (Italy), December 29, 2021 - Lamborghini has released a series of new Lamborghini Countach LPI 800-4 posters. The posters feature the limited edition super sports car, presented at Pebble Beach in August 2021 on the original Countach’s 50th anniversary.
The futuristic limited edition Countach LPI, 800-4, continues to be a source of inspiration, reflecting its predecessor’s non-conformist iconic status that defined a new horizon for automotive design. The image of the original Countach powerfully denoted the passion of the most refined car connoisseurs, as well as the teenagers of a generation choosing a Countach poster for their walls.
This poster collection has reinterpreted the love for the Countach’s timeless lines, emphasizing how image alone can stimulate creativity. The five posters by Automobili Lamborghini each bear the signature of artists and illustrators specializing in 3D and digital works, feeding the Countach myth and confirming the immortality of the icon.
The contributing designers from around the world bring a particular dimension and interpretation of the Countach LPI 800-4 as a future icon.
Omar Aqil, a Pakistani 3D illustrator and CGI artist, places the Countach in the center of the incredible technological evolution of the last 50 years.
Yegor Zhuldybin, a young Russian creator specializing in surreal digital collages, explores the integration of the new Countach into today’s world, balancing between the modern incarnation of the iconic model and the celebration of Lamborghini’s history.
Shy. Studio, an independent motion graphics studio specializing in 3D animations and still life, is inspired by the influence of the vintage 1980s posters, reproducing the legendary Countach design in a modern setting mixed with abstract, tactile elements and objects that seem to come from another world.
Andreas Wannerstedt, a Swedish artist known for his 3D works featuring hypnotic looped animations, proposes a reinterpretation that stages the encounter between nature and the most advanced human technology: the delicate shades of an imaginary sunset meet the clean lines of the Countach LPI 800-4.
LRNZ (Lorenzo Ceccotti): graphic designer, motion graphics creator, animator, and illustrator highlights the extraordinary visual qualities of the new Countach, focusing on extreme minimalism and high-tech vibrations.
