      • Strengthening California Journalism

        We enrich and grow California’s news gathering ecosystem by encouraging inclusivity, collaboration and the ongoing support of quality journalism education.

         

        For over 140 years, the core mission of the California Press Foundation has been to strengthen the future of California journalism through a variety of grant and internship programs. We aim to assure the future and integrity of California journalism by partnering with educators to help fund student journalism programs at all three levels, by recognizing and honoring contemporary achievements and by guarding the history and traditions of California journalism.

        The California Press Foundation arranges visits by newspaper people to campus journalism classes, regional and statewide educational events, and to community civic events around the state.

        Interns

        The California Press Foundation awards grants to select students who demonstrate an exceptional interest in pursuing careers in the media business in California. Our internship grant program helps develop mentorships and networking opportunities for students who are interested in a career in journalism.

        The students must seek and secure the internship on their own at news companies that belong to the California News Publishers Association (CNPA). Internships, which can occur in spring or summer, must be full-time and last at least six weeks.

      • Our History

        One of the earliest press associations in the country, the California Press Association was founded in 1878 at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco. In 1925 and 1926, the association worked with the Southern California Editorial Association to form a trade organization—the California Newspaper Publishers Association. In 2013, the 136-year-old Cal Press Association merged with the CNPA Foundation, CNPA’s 501(c)(3) charitable division, formed in 1993, to form the California Press Foundation.

        The association also gives public recognition at its annual winter meeting to outstanding newspaper people of the state, past and present, with six of the most coveted awards in California journalism:

        Justus F. Craemer California Newspaper Executive of the Year Award, the Philip N. McCombs Achievement Award, the Jack Bates Award, the Mark Twain Award for Journalism Excellence in California, and the California Newspaper Hall of Fame.
