Our merger with the News Media Alliance will take effect on July 1. It has been a privilege to serve this industry for more than 25 years, and I am excited to continue doing so as an advisor with the News/Media Alliance.
Earlier this month, the memberships of MPA and the News Media Alliance each voted to approve a merger of the two organizations, with the combined association to be called the News/Media Alliance. The subtle name change reflects both a recognition that the two industries have traditionally had somewhat different interests and business models, and a realization that our paths to a flourishing future have been getting closer and closer for quite some time.
Arlington, VA, May 6, 2022 – The News Media Alliance and MPA – The Association of Magazine Media today announced their agreement to merge the two organizations. The new combined association will be called the News/Media Alliance and will focus on building a powerful future for quality journalism.
