NPPA - National Press Photographers Association Across media landscapes, the NPPA upholds the integrity and excellence in visual journalism.

The NPPA is the leading voice advocating for the work of visual journalists today. Our organization fights for the visual journalist working as a photographer, videographer or multimedia journalist. Our Code of Ethics stands for the highest integrity in visual storytelling. Our advocacy efforts put NPPA in the center of today’s thorniest issues of journalists’ rights to do their work — and to earn

a living from their craft. Our ongoing education initiatives seek to equip our members and prepare the emerging generation of visual journalists in the face of an ever-changing media landscape. In light of these challenges, the work of NPPA has never been more vital than it is today. NPPA is a 501c(6) non-profit professional organization with approximately 6,000 members

“NPPF Supports NPPA and the Future of Visual Journalism Statement released July 7, 2025

The National Press Photographers Foundation (NPPF), a 501(C) (3) nonprofit, stands—as always—in full support of the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) and its mission to advocate for visual journalists, protect press freedom, and promote the highest standards in photojournalism. While the NPPF and the NPPA are two separate organizations, we share a deep commitment to the profession of visual journalism.

We are acutely aware of the profound challenges currently facing the NPPA, and we acknowledge the serious impact that the recent staff terminations and organizational crisis will have on the association and its members. In a time of uncertainty, the NPPF reaffirms the vital role that NPPA plays within our community of visual journalism—providing legal advocacy, education, professional development, competitions, and fostering community through its publications and workshops. The NPPA has long been the place for the community of photojournalists in the U.S., and it must remain so. The challenges ahead are undeniable, but not insurmountable. We know that as NPPA leadership charts a course forward, they can restore stability, rebuild trust, and draw strength from the incredible talent, leadership and energy within their membership.

As our foundation is committed to supporting the advancement of visual journalism, please know that NPPF will continue our core work of funding scholarships, awards, and educational opportunities. Additionally, we are prepared to explore ways we can support and collaborate with NPPA and its community.

We ask all who care about the future of visual journalism to stand with NPPA at this critical time. This is a moment not only to reaffirm our shared values but also to reimagine and renew the structures that support our profession.

We deeply believe in the importance of the NPPA. And we believe in the enduring power of community, especially in the face of adversity. History has shown that it is community that ultimately gets us through in the end.

Signed,

Board of Directors
National Press Photographers Foundation (NPPF)

"A federal judge sided with a group of photojournalists on Wednesday, ruling that restrictions on the NYPD’s arrest of journalists for low-level offenses—agreed to in an earlier settlement—apply in both non-protest and protest situations, based on a clear reading of the agreement, something the NYPD had been opposing."

NYPD must abide by the terms of the settlement agreement related to treatment of the press.
