Due to an abundance of news coverage, the nomination period has been extended to Oct. 21 to give members additional time to nominate someone (or themselves) for board and regional positions.

The NPPA is accepting nominations for candidates for its Board of Directors and Regional Chairs from Tuesday, Oct. 1 – 21, 2024.

“In the context of a political campaign, a photojournalist needs to remain impartial as a part of their job responsibilities, and so when a campaign uses photographs without permission, it threatens the appearance of impartiality,” Calzada said. “This is one reason why many photojournalists fight so hard to protect their copyright.”

- Alicia Wagner Calzada, NPPA - National Press Photographers Association Deputy General Counsel

The apparent copyright infringement is “the most egregious” in a photographer’s lengthy career. Robinson's campaign site also used images from longtime News & Observer photographer Robert Willett.

“There was a sense of people looking out for each other — and even looking out for me. A man cutting distant power lines called to me to look out, while balancing a cigarette from his mouth. Though sad about their town and businesses, they were all grateful for their lives.”�— Jabin Botsford of The Washington Post, from Marshall.

Six photographers share photos and stories of their Hurricane Helene coverage that will stay with them well after their assignment ends.
