The countdown to the #FPAawards26 is on, we’re buzzing for 30 November!
Today our first big announcement: the 2026 Jury who will select the best stories of the year!
We are honoured + grateful to Dame Sue Inglish, Andrew Moger @NewsCoalition @e_casalicchio and our own @fzaffari
Foreign Press Association in London retweeted
Courage is a decision to face risk in service of the common good.
I spent this morning with the @FPALondon ahead of the UK launch of Courage Can Save Us.
Our two countries have stood together through some of history's hardest moments. Courage is what kept us there. It's still what connects us, and we need more of it now.
As the US #Midterms approach, Rye Barcott brings *Courage Can Save Us* to the UK — but first the #FPA
Through the stories of ten veterans, the former US Marine Corps officer @ryebarcott rekindles a vital conversation about political #courage in our democracies
@WithHonorAction
The 90s are back, celebrated at #TateBritain @Tate as a decade of audacious spirit that helped shape British identity. At the #presspreview our international correspondents #FPA got closer to #CoolBritannia
@tate @alexandermcqueen #newexhibition #1990s #Art&Fashion
Don’t forget the situation of women in Afghanistan. A cry for help from journalist Zhara Joya. The brave founder of Rukhshana Media in London -working secretely with female reporters from #Afghanistan- told her story in #TheVanishingGirlofKabul she presented at #FPA
A sneak peek @NationalGallery major new exhibition #RenoirAndLove
#FPA scattered through six rooms of this enchanting display, #Renoir ’s celebration of beauty, sensuality, intimacy, family.
And a surprise encounter with the French artist’s great-great-granddaughter
#pressview
+165,000 rescued from #Ukraine war lines and ~1,800 abducted children from Russia occupied territories. Now @SaveukraineUs launched the Protection and Advocacy Centre. We spoke to @MykolaKuleba #NobelPeacePrize candidate & @AnastasiiaDovbnia before #PathwaystoPeace Conference
Are we opening our eyes on #AI ?
#DanielSusskind has considered the use of these systems by the young generation, and the advantages in Education. But it’s not like when we introduced calculators in the class… these systems ALLUCINATE …
Key: always question what AI tells us
“Nobody good in politics should ever accept money from a convicted fraudster. It’s quite simple. And Farage did take benefits — it’s in my book,” says @johnsweeneyroars, whom we hosted for an exclusive FPA Briefing.
#Farage #NigelFarage #ReformUK #UKPolitics #BritishPolitics #FPA
One word goes well with #ArtificialIntelligence : uncertainty.
And ahead of its release tomorrow, we discussed @danielsusskind new book *What Should My Children Do? - How to Flourish on the Age of #AI*
A compelling read to seize the #tech opportunities for the next generation

Elliott Franks— RIP
We are heartbroken. One of our much-loved members, Elliott Franks, 62, has passed away. One of the official photographers at the #FPAawards and a dedicated presence at our #FPABriefings A kind, special soul will be deeply missed. Our thoughts with his family.
What would World War III look like?
Think conflict on land, at sea and in the skies. Then imagine it in space too with cyber, quantum and AI in the picture. But @Tobias_Ellwood has dedicated his latest #book to explore Ten Steps to Prevent Wold War Three. We spoke to him #FPA
++ ENTRIES ARE OPEN+++

When summer comes we leave aside #n10 drama and #BuckinghamPalace saga at least for one night and we celebrate working together as an international family of #foreigncorrespondents #FPALondon
Thank you all for a delightful #summerparty @rosl1910 #internationalmedia #ForeignPress
Princess #Diana would be 65 now. Same as @catherine_mayer who followed the Royal drama unfold and features her alongside seven other #royalwomen in her #newbook *Divide and Rule* from #AnneBoleyn to #Meghan. No bias, no #fakenews, no #royalgossip. For once!
In the age of #ai we help our Foreign Correspondents stay on top of the new trends with the second session of our #DigitalJournalism Course - free- to #FPA members.
Thank you @GalintaPietro @PITMediaGroup and @AleAllocca for sharing the modern reporter’s toolkit! #aijournalism
Transparency in the #RoyalFamily?
Somebody argues they can do much more than publishing their #taxreturns
@andrewlownie and former head of U.K. Royal Protection Dai Davies have some unanswered questions. But glad they answered our member’s at an #FPAbriefings @deborah_bonetti
There are no black holes or particles in @carlorovelli new book *85 Seconds to Midnight*. It is a wake up call to the world: a nuclear catastrophe has an immediate connection to war. #carlorovelli reframes the history of #nuclearweapons and makes an argument against #rearmament
Could he be the next #UKPM ? Al Carns is not ruling out and actively considering “multiple factors” before he throws his hat into the ring to challenge #AndyBurnham. We gave @AlistairCarns a good grilling at an #FPAbriefing moderated by @deborah_bonetti
