The Foreign Press Association in Denmark consists of foreign and Danish journalists covering Denmark and the other Nordic countries for foreign media. They represent news agencies, daily newspapers, weekly and monthly magazines, journals, radio, television and Internet media. They are correspondents, freelance journalists, photographers, video-journalists and television people. The majority of our members are living in Denmark – permanently or on a temporary basis – while a few members live in Southern Sweden.
In cooperation with Danske Medier, FPA is the issuing authority of the official Danish press card to foreign press in Denmark.
The Foreign Press Association works closely with the International Press Centre and has its office in IPC’s premises. The FPA also has a permanent seat on the Board of IPC. In addition, the FPA has contact to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other ministries and to NGOs, embassies and other authorities, including the police.
In addition to issuing press cards to its members, FPA organises excursions and professional and social events, often in cooperation with IPC.
