The CLEVELAND JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME honors figures both living and deceased who have made outstanding career contributions to the local print and electronic media. It was instituted by the PRESS CLUB OF CLEVELAND, which installed 11 charter members at a dinner in 1981 addressed by ABC newsman Ted Koppel. Since then 3 or 4 members have been added nearly every year, elected from a list of nominees presented to the club's general membership. New inductees are installed at a special dinner usually given in the fall.
