Participate

Becoming involved in IPTC means you have the power to influence and change global standards set by the world's foremost authority on information exchange among the news media.

Getting Involved

We have many opportunities for professionals who wish to contribute to the IPTC and its work. The most comprehensive: become a member. Membership is the backbone of the IPTC, and levels vary for both organisations and individuals. Additionally, several “working parties” and “working groups” focus on specific topic areas and standards. IPTC also hosts two member meetings a year, where its working parties discuss and develop their ideas to support information exchange and the rapid innovation of media and the news industry.

Working Group Meetings

In addition to the IPTC’s two member meetings held in Spring and Autumn each year, each of our working parties and groups hold regular online meetings. The purpose of these calls is to discuss developments and keep other participants informed of new information pertaining to that particular subject area. Descriptions of our working parties and groups, as well as call times, are given below. IPTC’s work structure/organisational chart also lists objectives of each, as well as group leaders.
