Treasurer announcement and information: https://nppa.org/news/854

The National Press Photographers Association is dedicated to the advancement of visual journalism – its creation, practice, training, editing and distribution – in all news media and works to promote its role as a vital public service.

We serve

We serve thousands of visual journalists nationally and internationally, and our legal advocacy benefits the journalism industry as a whole

Our greatest accomplishment last year

Our General Counsel is urging Congress to reject federal judiciary opposition to the Sunshine in the Courtroom Act. Through a new partnership, we developed a journalist toolkit for members covering the FIFA World Cup. We have also worked to free journalist members who were detained and arrested while covering ICE protests.
