The Anglo-American
Press Association

Who we are

Founded in 1907, The Anglo-American Press Association in Paris is the oldest journalists’ organization in France.

We bring together journalists from anglophone media to encourage mutual support and promote common interests. Our main activity is inviting high-profile figures from politics, economics, business and culture for briefings or on-the-record interviews. We also foster social contact among foreign correspondents who are based in or visiting France.

Join the AAPA

Today, we are more than 160 journalists representing international media outlets, including the New York Times, Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Bloomberg, Reuters, AFP, BBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, NPR, and FRANCE 24.

Our members get access to a great network of colleagues, meetings with newsmakers in politics, culture and foreign affairs, regular social events and training courses, and a membership press card. Active members must be journalists based in France who are working in the English language.
