Missouri Press Association

The Missouri Press Association has been serving Missouri newspapers since 1867, providing a platform for publishers and editors to collaborate and address industry challenges. With a rich history rooted in the state's journalism, the association continues to uphold the values of a free press and the public's right to know.

Core services include advertising placement through the Missouri Press Service, which offers a streamlined process for placing ads in member newspapers. The association also focuses on journalism education, offering scholarships, seminars, and resources to support the next generation of journalists.

The Missouri Press Foundation, established in 1984, further enhances the association's mission by preserving the state's newspaper history and supporting educational initiatives. The association's efforts are directed towards enhancing openness in government and protecting the interests of the public and the press.
