IAPA will celebrate several historic milestones in November. First of all, the 30th anniversary of the Declaration of Chapultepec and the fifth anniversary of the Declaration of Salta. It will also recall its origins dating back to 1923 when the mandate to create a hemispheric media meeting arose during the Fifth American Conference in Santiago de Chile.
IAPA is a non-profit organization dedicated to the defense and promotion of freedom of the press and freedom of expression in the Americas. It is comprised of more than 1,300 publications in the Western Hemisphere and is headquartered in Miami, Florida, United States.
