Missouri Press Association

The Missouri Press Association commissioned CR Bronzeworks to make this massive plaque to replace existing lettering on a wall on the outside of their building.

This plaque was not only created in dedication to the Missouri Press Association but also as a memorial of The Journalist’s Creed. The Journalist’s Creed is a code of ethics written around 1906 by Walter Williams. It was written to dictate the ideals and moral statutes of true journalism.

The plaque was designed to fill a pre-made inlet outlined with stonework. Weighing in at 500 pounds this impressive 10 x 4 foot plaque is the largest bronze plaque that our foundry has made to date.

In the photos to the left, you will see Morris Shepherd and Justin Butler from the foundry actually installing the plaque with the help of two local sign company employees.
