The International Association of Press Clubs (IAPC) is an international collaborative chain of national organisations (Press Clubs[1] and FCCs) which claims to support the professional endeavours of its members and the principle of a free press.[2]

Reporters Without Borders received the IAPC in 2013 for their "outstanding contributions to the defense or the struggle for freedom of expression, the creation of conditions to support freedom of speech."[3][4]
