Virginia Press Association

The Virginia Press Association represents virtually every newspaper in Virginia--more than 145 community weekly and daily newspapers as well as more than 100 associate and sustaining members. The association was founded in the late 19th century and was incorporated by a special act of the Virginia General Assembly in 1882. VPA has its offices in Ashland, Virginia. The business affiliate of VPA is Virginia Press Services, Inc. The VPA provides such member services as a clipping bureau, a classified ad network, awards programs, and state lobbying.
