The foreign correspondents association API marked its 50th anniversary on 10 July. Since 1975, API has expanded to represent 400 members among 1,200 EU-accredited media professionals in Brussels, including audiovisual teams.
API has supported thousands of colleagues through the various accreditation procedures at EU, NATO and Belgian authorities. The Association de la Presse Internationale – International Press Association (API-IPA) also aims to foster the professional community through newcomer briefings and so-called API Hours.
A key theme for API is ensuring the continued presence of journalists, physically reporting from Brussels on the EU, NATO, and Belgium. “That’s not given with ever greater media-consolidation, shrinking newsrooms, disinformation and growing AI impact on journalism,” API says.
