In 1887, the Georgia Press Association was founded to bring together Georgia newspapers. The goal: Create an organization that would protect, promote, foster and advance the interest of the newspaper industry in Georgia.
Today, the Georgia Press Association (GPA) is still growing, and our members remain among the top business leaders in the state. From rural weeklies to metropolitan dailies, Georgia newspapers are close to the heart and soul of the community in every city and town.
Our members carry out the goal of their early predecessors by securing unity of thought and action in all matters pertaining to the profession of journalism. The membership is guided in its quest by a volunteer board of directors and numerous permanent and special committees.
GPA is active in offering educational and networking opportunities for its members, including an annual conference. In addition, advertising is placed through GPA’s affiliate, the Georgia Newspaper Service. The Georgia Press Educational Foundation offers Capitol Beat, a nonprofit news service with the mission to provide in-depth, unbiased coverage of state government and fill the void left by a shrinking press corps covering the statehouse and our elected officials there. Since its inception 5 years ago, Capitol Beat has published nearly 3900 stories which are available to GPA member newspapers. Newspapers internships for GPA members and scholarships for journalism students are also offered annually through the Georgia Press Educational Foundation.
