Sean Penn to present at Press Club awards

The Los Angeles Press Club has secured Sean Penn to present its President's Award to Anderson Cooper for his coverage of Haiti. From a release this afternoon: "Anderson Cooper was the first American TV reporter on the scene in Haiti, following the catastrophic earthquake in January. He will be fittingly introduced by Oscar-winning actor and committed activist Sean Penn who placed himself in the midst of the devastation living in a tent among the Haitian people. Penn has assumed responsibility as the designated manager of one of the largest camps for Port-au-Prince survivors and is the co-founder of the J/P Haitian Relief Organization (J/P HRO)." The awards dinner is June 27.
