About Us

In early 2012, the API and NAA Foundation boards voted to merge the NAA Foundation into API. The new entity, located at NAA’s headquarters in Arlington, Va., retains the API name. Its purpose is to educate constituencies about the value of newspapers and to provide training, research and best practices for industry executives.

API was founded in 1946; the NAA Foundation was established as the ANPA Foundation in 1963. It became NAAF in 1992 upon the merger of the ANPA and INMA foundations.
