National Newspaper Week (Oct. 1-7) is coming up fast, and here are resources for NPA members to use to promote it.
There are columns, cartoons, house ads, logos and other promotional materials. NPA already has contributed to the effort, so they are free to our members.
Here’s an excerpt from chairman Tom Newton:
“A lot of words have been published, posted and uttered recently about fake news and real news and whether Americans have the tools necessary to differentiate between the two. This year’s theme for National Newspaper Week – “Real Newspapers … Real News” – couldn’t be more fitting to frame the question: Do Americans have the tools necessary to decide for themselves what is real, what is factual and what is necessary for self-government to endure and the country to prosper?
“I submit that they do. The tools are American Newspapers, dailies and weeklies, printed and delivered to American doorsteps and accessed on laptops, tablets and smart phones. Real newspapers in all their formats are created by real journalists, and that’s the key.”
