History
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."
"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.
