The National Press Photographers Association will relocate its headquarters to the University of Georgia Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication beginning in early 2015. NPPA is the voice of visual journalists, representing photographers, videographers, multimedia journalists, editors, designers, visual managers and academics, with nearly 6,000 members nationwide and around the world.

"UGA’s Grady College and NPPA share a deep commitment to excellence in journalism," said Pamela Whitten, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost. "Their partnership creates exciting new opportunities in instruction, scholarship and outreach that will benefit our students and faculty as well as the more than 6,000 constituents of NPPA."

Charles "Chip" Deale, CAE, the executive director of NPPA, echoed those thoughts. "NPPA’s relocation to the University of Georgia and its partnership with the Grady College effectively positions the association for a vibrant future and one that is of great relevance to visual journalists." Deale will be based at Grady College and will collaborate with the school’s faculty and staff on a daily basis. Read the full press release here.
