The American Society of News Editors and Associated Press
Media Editors have voted to merge and become the News Leaders Association, the
groups announced.
The move was approved by the two groups’
members during their joint News Leadership Conference in Austin
ASNE and APME will continue to work jointly on
major projects during the coming year as legal steps toward the merger are
completed. NLA is expected to be in place by the 2019 News Leadership
Conference Sept. 9-10 in New Orleans
“These are challenging times for our business
and our country,” said Nancy Barnes, incoming president of ASNE for 2018-19.
“We believe joining our two organizations will only strengthen our ability, as
journalism leaders, to stand up for the principles we hold dear.”
“Editors’ jobs have never been more
challenging, and we believe that our groups are stronger together as we work to
be a valuable resource for leaders at news organizations of all sizes,” said
APME President Angie Muhs.
The mission statement of NLA reads: “The News
Leaders Association is committed to leading, nurturing and serving journalism
and democracy.”
