Featured Services

NPPA services and committees that have been recently in the news.

Online Education

NPPA is providing helpful online education resources for our members, starting with archived webinars and class videos from NPPA's Multimedia Immersion, Convergence, and the NPPA/PhotoShelter Virtual Short Course Series. Check out the offerings!

Job Bank

The NPPA Job Bank service has been upgraded! Members can now filter the list of jobs by interest or skill set, and people can post jobs directly. Internships are also now fully integrated into the job search, rather than being split off into a separate Student Internship Guide

Advocacy

The Advocacy Committee works to address local, federal, and corporate policy issues that affect our members’ ability to provide the public with news images. In 2009 and 2010, the Advocacy Committee has been active in opposing abuse of photojournalists by law enforcement and security, has endorsed the Photographer's Bill of Rights for photo contests, and has continued to work to promote a federal shield law.

Find a Photographer

The NPPA Find a Photographer service helps match freelance photojournalists up with individuals and companies who are looking for photographic talent. You must be an NPPA member to list yourself, but the talent bank is viewable by everyone who is looking for a photographer.

National Mentoring Program

The mentoring program offers NPPA members the opportunity to establish a relationship with--and learn from--established veterans in the field.

Business Practices

Your work as a photojournalist is a business. Learn how to run it like one. Get answers on Ethics, Copyright Law, Release Forms, and more.
