Celebrating National Newspaper Week
Oct. 5-11, 2025
During the first full week of October each year, the newspaper industry recognizes the editors, reporters, sales teams, press operators and managers who contribute to producing the “daily miracle.” It takes a dedicated team to ensure that our readers have access to quality, truthful journalism.
Local journalism is the heartbeat of informed communities. Print and digital newspapers connect with readers by providing the news they need and advertising they rely on. Readers regard community newspapers as highly valuable and important sources of information. To build a better future, it is vital to support local journalism through subscriptions, donations, sharing stories, and encouraging young reporters.

The Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association developed a series of resources for our members to use exclusively during National Newspaper Week. Please note: all assets must run between Oct. 5-11, 2025 only.
- A print and digital ad campaign that recognizes the importance of newspapers to a community’s well-being.
- An op-ed from PNA President and CEO Bill Cotter.
If you have any questions or need any assistance, please email marketing@pa-news.org.
