The 82nd annual National Newspaper Week, a recognition of the service of newspapers and their employees throughout the United States and Canada, is set for Oct. 2-8. The campaign is sponsored by Newspaper Association Managers.

This year’s theme is “newspapers are relevant,” with supporting themes of “newspapers are local, are trusted, support you and need your support.”

A package of resources to help promote the effort is available here. It will continue to be updated in the coming weeks.

This year’s resources will include:

• A presentation that can be presented to civic groups or those that may be interested as to why newspapers remain relevant. This presentation is courtesy of The Relevance Project.
• A catalog of 100 images that can be used to promote National Newspaper Week, courtesy of METRO Image.
• Social media creative for you to copy and paste into your channels — just add #newspaperpower.
• House ads, courtesy of CODA Ventures and the Free Speech Center, showcasing the power of local newspapers.
