About the Nevada Press Association

    The Nevada Press Association is the formal trade organization for the newspaper industry in Nevada. It is a voluntary non-profit organization that represents 7 daily and 35 weekly newspapers in Nevada and the Lake Tahoe region of Northern California, as well as two online news services.

    The association has a long history.  Between 1888 and 1915, an association of Nevada newspapers was organized and re-organized several times. In 1924, a journalism professor at the University of Nevada in Reno led the reorganization of the association, which officially became known as the Nevada State Press Association.

    The organization dropped "State" from its name in 1995, becoming the Nevada Press Association.

An 11-member board of officers and directors, elected by member newspapers, governs the association.
    The Nevada Press Association is dedicated to representing the common interests of Nevada newspapers, furthering the public's right to know through an understanding that strong newspapers (protected by the First Amendment) are the cornerstone of a democratic society, promoting a closer fellowship within the newspaper fraternity, encouraging the elevation of journalistic standards and promoting the value of newspaper advertising.

Our annual Better Newspaper Contest results showcase the quality and depth of work done by Nevada newspapers.

See also our award to this year’s First Amendment Champion — a recognition outside the newspaper industry — and this year’s inductees to the Nevada Newspaper Hall of Fame.

Thanks to all who attended the awards banquet Saturday night at Piper’s Opera House in Virginia City. We had a grand old time. You can check out a short video of our ride on the V&T railroad.

Can’t get to Phoenix? Here’s a Las Vegas seminar

A new seminar is coming to Las Vegas on the afternoon of March 23 — “Sealed Records in a Nutshell.” It will cover court records for attorneys, judges and reporters.

The best part? It’s free for reporters. (Maybe not the best part, but pretty darn good.)

It’ll include Chief Justice Nancy Saitta, retired Judge Bill Dressel, former Sen. Terry Care, Sam Lionel, Mark Hinueber and Dominic Gentile.

Although there’s no charge for journalists, send an email to Ben Holden if you’re planning to attend.

 

The Walter Cronkite School of Journalism at ASU will be the site for NewsTrain.
