The year 2024 marks the 84th celebration of National Newspaper Week. Since 1940, Newspaper Association Managers has sponsored and supported National Newspaper Week, a week-long promotion of the newspaper industry in the United States and Canada.
Use this year’s National Newspaper Week as an opportunity to remind your readers—and yourselves—why journalism matters. Whether it’s a personal essay, a column, or a special feature, NNW allows a unification opportunity to highlight the passion, dedication, and resilience that drive us.
Share your story with readers and join the conversation on social media using the hashtag #TellingOurStories2024.
Newspaper voices are powerful, and newspaper stories are worth telling. Let’s celebrate what it means to be a part of the newspaper business and inspire the next generation of journalists to carry the torch forward.
Here are ways your publication can celebrate National Newspaper Week:
CELEBRATE National Newspaper Week by downloading National Newspaper Association materials and devoting as many column inches as possible to reinforce the importance of your newspaper to your communities, and also by sharing the message on your social media platforms over the course of the week.
LOCALIZE by editorializing about your newspaper’s unique relevance: Government watchdog, community event coverage, timely publication of public notices, etc.
Thank you for supporting National Newspaper Week. There is power in association — and the same principle holds when newspapers band together to provide even greater impact — both directly to newspaper readers locally and collectively to the overall industry.
