About API

Founded by newspaper publishers in 1946, the American Press Institute is the oldest and largest center devoted solely to training and professional development for the news industry and journalism educators. The Institute, housed in a Marcel Breuer-designed building in Reston, Virginia, conducts more than 30 residential seminars a year for journalists, sales, marketing and management professionals in print, broadcast, cable and digital media companies.

API has "tracks" of programs in advertising, circulation, editorial, general management, marketing and weekly newspapers, all focused on the learnings from its year-long Newspaper Next project.

API also develops custom training seminars on content, values, leadership and management. API has designed programs for Scandinavian and Asian journalists and change and strategic-planning initiatives for newspapers throughout North, Central and South America.
