The University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalismand Mass Communication has long had a reputation ofexcellence, proven recently by stealing the No.2 spot inthe Radio Television Digital News Association ranking oftop journalism programs, and furthering this repute as theNational Press Photographers Association has decidedto relocate their headquarters to Grady.

The NPPA is “the leading voice advocating for the workof visual journalists today,” according to its website and,after almost two years of communication, proposals andsome competition, Grady welcomed the organizationJan. 10 to its official new headquarters.
Mark Johnson, a photojournalism professor, was theleader of the initiative to bring the NPPA to UGA,knowing what the move could mean for both theuniversity and the organization.
The President of the NPPA, Mark Dolan, also said at theforefront of their decision to move were the immenseopportunities that came along with being located in auniversity setting.
“One of the reasons we wanted to come to theuniversity was the opportunity to collaborate,” Dolansaid.
He said being at UGA would allow the NPPA to “reachout to many of the great minds,” make partnerships andwork with other organizations, non-profits, advocacy andlaw groups.
Johnson initially proposed the move to the NPPA almosttwo years ago, and although the proposition was wellreceived, the organization let other schools send inproposals as well.
“So I was very excited one night back in August whenPresident Dolan called and said we got the[nomination],” said Johnson at the welcoming receptionon Friday.
Dolan said another big factor in the decision to choose

UGA was the vast enthusiasm that everyone at UGAshowed.
“Frankly, it was as much the enthusiasm as anythingelse…Mark Johnson was really effective incommunicating how excited everyone was, and he haddone so much homework. And it was not just Grady,everyone was excited, and that was reflected," Dolansaid.
The move will open up opportunities not only for theorganization, but also for visual journalism students andthe relationships and experience they can gain throughwork with the renown association.
“Honestly I think its great for after graduation, having thefact that the NPPA is based here at UGA and wanting to
be a photojournalist – it really builds the reputation of UGA," said Hannah Burke, a magazine journalism fromWatkinsville.
Regardless of whether or not Grady students are interested in pursuing visual journalism, the new headquartersprovides an array of unique opportunities that will expand the horizons of both the NPPA and students alike.
As Deale said “It’s the dawn of a new era for the NPPA.”
