The Nevada Press Association is the formal member trade organization for news publications in the state of Nevada. It is a voluntary non-profit organization that represents seven daily and thirty-five weekly news publications in Nevada and the Lake Tahoe region of Northern California, as well as two online news services. The history of the NPA dates back to 1888, when an association of Nevada newspapers was first organized. Mark Twain was a founding member at this time. In 1924, the organization officially became the Nevada State Press Association after a journalism professor at the University of Nevada, Reno spearheaded a final reorganization campaign. The organization dropped the word "State" from its name in 1995, becoming simply the Nevada Press Association. The board of directors that governs the association is composed of eleven officers elected by member newspapers from around the state. - Source: Wikipedia
