Newspapers: The Cornerstone of Your Community

National Newspaper Week this year runs from October 7-13, the first full week in October, NAM has sponsored the NNW since 1940. This year, the theme is: “NEWSPAPERS – The Cornerstone of Your Community.”

NNW is the only industry observance of newspapers during the year and deserves our support, especially in these diffucult times for all our members. We urge you to use the sign-up form with this notice to indicate your association’s participation in this important observance.

NAM asks you to send in $2.00 for each newspaper in your association that you estimate will participate by publishing the materials in the impressive package NAM has put together.

Since the NNW package went online several years ago, it has become more difficult for managers to know how many papers in their membership participate. We ask you to use your best estimate. Some managers send us a check for all their members. Others estimate a number they believe is realistic. We know there are papers in every state participating. We know because Florida Press tracked last year and found good numbers most everywhere.

In any case, use your best faith estimate and send us a check for $2 for each participant. Keep in mind this is an important fundraiser for NAM to help us defray expenses of running conferences and providing services to NAM managers.

We shall appreciate your cooperation in the meritorious effort.

Dean Ridings
NAM President
