The National Press Foundation's goal is to help journalists better understand the issues about which they write and broadcast. NPF programs are held in Washington, D.C., in cities across the country, and all over the world.
The programs are balanced and non-partisan, and are presented by leading authorities, experts, and policy makers. Seminars are always on the record. Each year, more than 300 reporters and editors take part in NPF professional development programs, and thousands have participated since 1975.
