Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government Hazel Blears will be guest speaker at the Newspaper Conference on 13 March.
Blears will answer questions from regional press political journalists based in Westminster.
These conferences run by the Newspaper Society are held throughout the year and are made up of London-based regional press political editors and lobby correspondents.
Yorkshire Evening Post political editor was last month appointed chairman of the conference.
