Possible newspaper contacts

12/27/16

The following people, mostly editors and publishers, are members or former members of the board of directors of the Alabama Press Association Journalism Foundation. The foundation promotes journalism education and gives grants to colleges, including a grant that supports our legislative reporting project.

Because of their interest in journalism education and their familiarity with our legislative reporting project, some of these people may be good ones for students to contact in order to arrange to write legislative stories.

As noted elsewhere, you can find a complete directory of APA member newspapers at http://alabamapress.org/active-papers/.
