The SJA enjoys good and close relations with many other organisations, especially AIPS – the international sports journalists’ association, which was formed in 1924.
AIPS and AIPS Europe are committed to improving conditions for working journalists. In addition, they organise regular ‘Young Reporter’ schemes to help young people working in the media.
SJA member Keir Radnedge is a delegate on the AIPS Football Commission.
