American association of professional entertainment journalists
The International Press Academy (IPA) is an American association of professional entertainment journalists, representing both domestic and foreign markets in print, television, radio, cable and new media outlets.[1] Its members have annually been giving what are now known as the Satellite Awards since January 1997.
All full-time entertainment journalists are eligible to join; membership is open to journalists listed in the MPAA directory and to those working journalists who submit at least six entertainment-related clips to be considered by the board.[2]
The academy was founded in 1996 by Mirjana Van Blaricom.[3]
