Greetings from president & all about AJPS

The Association Japan de la Presse Sportive (AJPS) is an organization formed by freelance sports journalists and photographers in order to establish their status and protect their rights in activities as well as the freedom of expression and the press. Our activities, AJPS believes, have been and always offer some contribution to the development of Japanese sports.

Since its foundation on June 1 in 1976, the AJPS has grown into an outfit with 178 regular members, including those who are based in overseas, and 20 supporting companies, as of June in 2017.
Most of our members find their working field not only domestically but also internationally. Our activities and works have been recognized by the Association International de la Presse Sportive (AIPS), and the AJPS has become the sole AIPS-authorized body, through which Japanese freelancers can join the AIPS membership.

You can see these days that sports draw more attention from the public and take an important role in a highly complex and diversified society as a measure of appealing the dignity of humanity.

Bearing that in our minds, we are required to carry out our journalistic activities with wider point of views while improving our quality in journalism. We, the AJPS, would like to continue our activities and enforce our organizational structure for the future of us and sports.
