Celebrating National Newspaper Week
Oct. 4-10, 2026
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. 4-10, 2026 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.

Op-ed from PNA President and CEO Bill Cotter
In his National Newspaper Week op-ed, PNA President and CEO Bill Cotter reflects on the essential role local journalism plays in strengthening communities across Pennsylvania. Local news organizations document the moments that shape community life, hold public officials and institutions accountable, preserve local history and provide residents with the credible, reliable information they need to stay informed and connected.
As local journalism continues to evolve across print and digital platforms, Cotter emphasizes that its fundamental mission remains unchanged. He encourages Pennsylvanians to recognize the value of local news, and to support the journalists and news organizations whose work helps keep communities informed, engaged and connected while strengthening the fabric of our democracy.
