60th Anniversary Celebration
In October 1950, 34 editors from 15 countries met at Columbia University in New York to form a global organisation dedicated to the promotion and protection of press freedom and the improvement of the practices of journalism.
The idea for such an organisation evolved in the aftermath of the Second World War. IPI was founded on the belief that a free press would contribute to the creation of a better world.
