National Newspaper Week begins Sunday; promote YOUR industry more than ever


Sunday marks the beginning of the 2018 National Newspaper Week. It runs October 7-13.

This is the 78th year the Newspaper Association Managers have provided materials,

at no cost to our member newspapers, to promote the newspaper industry across the U.S.

Make plans now to start visiting the home page of National Newspaper Week at http://www.nationalnewspaperweek.com/. This year’s observance will be held Oct. 7-13.

This 78th annual National Newspaper Week is a recognition of the service of newspapers and their employees across North American and is sponsored by Newspaper Association Managers. For 2018, National Newspaper Week is a project of the Wisconsin Newspaper Association.

The content kit below contains editorials, editorial cartoons, promotional ads and more; all available for download at no charge to daily and non-daily newspapers across North America. NNW is sponsored by Newspaper Association Managers, Inc., the consortium of North American trade associations representing the industry on a state and provincial, regional and national basis.

Additional materials for use by newspapers promoting NNW will be posted as they become available.

This year’s theme is “Journalism matters. NOW more than ever.”

PLAN TO CELEBRATE National Newspaper Week by downloading these materials and devoting as many column inches as possible to reinforce the importance of Newspaper to your communities.

PLEASE ALSO MAKE IT LOCAL by editorializing about your newspaper’s unique relevance. This can be about your government watchdog role, coverage of community events, publication of timely public notices, etc.

Since the principle is timeless, the materials, new and archived, remain on the website and accessible year-round as a continuing resource.

Thank you for supporting National Newspaper Week. You already know there is power in association. And the same principle holds when associations like ours band together to provide even greater impact — both directly to newspaper members locally and collectively to the overall industry nationwide.

Beth Bennett
Executive Director
