Mission Statement=20

t
of photojournalism, its creation, editing and distribution, in all news

y
in their professional performance and in their personal code of ethics. NPP=
A
vigorously promotes freedom of the press in all its forms. To this end, NPP=
A

t
1,500 paid student members, and nearly 500 life members--bringing the total

History=20

The National Press Photographers Association was founded in 1946. In the
first issue of National Press Photographer (published in Boston, Mass. in
April 1946), an editorial on the front page proclaimed, "With this issue is
born a voice, one that has been mute much too long."
t the early history of the NPPA? Purchase a copy of A Voice is Born: The
Founding and Early Years of the National Press Photographers
"We're no longer going to permit ourselves to be relegated to the position
of unwelcome, but necessary, stepchildren of the Fourth Estate. We've got a
voice, finally, and we're going to make use of it. No false modesty. No
muffling of that voice under a barrel. We're going to yell so loud -- when
the occasion demands, and not just for the fun of hearing ourselves shout -=
-
that those in this country who have been injuring us with scant courtesy
will begin to realize that here is a new force to be reckoned with."

In the early years, the struggles included trying to get cameras allowed
into the courtrooms and to improve government/media relations. And, in fact=
,
many of the programs that NPPA has today including the "job bureau" as it
was then called, an insurance program, "The Complete Book of Press
Photography" and programs for "newsreel cameramen" had their start back in
the late 1940s.

But they've grown as have many of NPPA's other programs. Today, NPPA hosts
five national workshops of various types on everything from general
photography and motivation to television photography and technology. Today,
NPPA has a Job Information Bank that posts several job openings every week.
Today, NPPA has an e-commerce store, an AV Library and publishes materials
that are in demand by researchers, students, instructors and
photojournalists all over the world.

Membership in NPPA is open to professional news photographers and all other=
s
whose occupation has a direct professional relationship with
photojournalism. All members receive a monthly copy of News Photographer
magazine, The Best of Photojournalism Yearbook and 2 Volume Television
Winners' DVD, regional publications, access to the Job Information Bank,
discounts on all NPPA programs and eligibility to enter all NPPA contests.
