Foreign Press Association
The Foreign Press Association (FPA) is a not-for-profit Friendly Society established in 1888. It organises press briefings and events for international journalists based in the United Kingdom.
Members also have access to networking events, briefings on the Royal Family and can apply to attend the parliament press gallery.
The FPA was founded in 1888 and is the oldest and biggest association of foreign correspondents in the world. It was originally founded by international journalists who came to London to cover the Jack the Ripper case.
The organization has around 500 full members, representing around 300 media outlets from roughly 60 countries around the world.
Members can either be full members or associate members. Full members must derive 75% of their income from journalism and must demonstrably work for international media, while associate members can be non-journalists. The latter option is intended for PR professionals and press attaches. Membership is £250 for either class of membership.
The FPA is recognised as a press card gatekeeper by the official UK Press Card authority. Press cards in the UK grant the holder access to certain events and locations, including courtrooms and police press conferences. Around 1500 journalists are accredited by the FPA every year.
The FPA also hosts an annual award ceremony to celebrate global excellence in journalism. Entries are accepted from both United Kingdom and international media outlets. The official site bills the awards as the "Oscars of Journalism."
