The Associated Press in Alabama
The Associated Press serves 20 daily newspapers, 17 television stations and more than 50 radio stations in Alabama, from the coastal environs of Mobile to the Appalachian ridges, from the Tennessee Valley to the Wiregrass, from the Capstone at Tuscaloosa to the Plains of Auburn.
The state's main bureau, located just a few blocks from the historic Capitol in Montgomery, directs the AP's newsgathering in Alabama, working with correspondents in Birmingham and Mobile, its members across the state, and the support of editorial and administrative staff in the Atlanta control bureau and technical staffers in Huntsville, Birmingham and south Alabama. An AP correspondent based in Washington, D.C., is dedicated to covering the Alabama and Georgia congressional delegations and news of interest to Alabama and Georgia from the nation's Capitol.
Upcoming Meetings:
March 2009
The Alabama AP Broadcasters Association will announce most of the winners of the 2008 contest in an urgent wire advisory in March. We hope to announce news cooperation winners at the Alabama Broadcasters Association's ABBY awards presentation. More details on that will be provided later.
The Alabama APME has decided not to hold the annual awards convention and state meeting this year. The Alabama APME board hopes to resume the annual event in 2010.
The Associated Press is the oldest and largest news organization in the world, serving as a source of news, photos, graphics, audio and video for more than one billion people a day. In the U.S. alone, AP serves 5,000 radio and TV stations and 1,700 newspapers.
