National Newspaper Week 2020

October 4 - 10, 2020

National Newspaper WeekEach year during the first week of October, our industry celebrates National Newspaper Week. It is a time for us to recognize and thank all who contribute to producing the “daily miracle.” From the print and digital journalists and editors who report the news, the advertising sales staff who helps local retailers promote their businesses, the production crews who designs and prints the newspaper, the newspaper carriers who faithfully deliver the newspaper despite the weather and the newspaper managers who oversee the entire process, it truly takes a dedicated team to ensure that readers have the news they need to make more informed decisions.

The Pennsylvania NewsMedia Association designed two series of print and digital ads for you to run during National Newspaper Week – October 4-10, 2020.

If you have any questions or need any assistance, please email marketing@pa-news.org.

Editorial from PNA President Brad Simpson

PNA President Brad SimpsonNewspapers in Pennsylvania have a long history of providing timely, accurate and informative news to the citizens of the commonwealth. We deliver the stories that matter most to residents of local communities; stories that often cannot be found elsewhere. Despite the challenges and uncertainties that have largely defined 2020, one constant has remained: the people of Pennsylvania have continued to turn to our local newspapers for credible and reliable information to help guide them through these turbulent times.

Each year during the first week of October, our industry celebrates National Newspaper Week. It is a time for us to recognize and thank all who contribute to producing the “daily miracle” you are reading now. From the print and digital journalists and editors who report the news of the day, the advertising sales staff who helps local retailers promote their businesses, the production crew who designs and prints the newspaper, the newspaper carriers who faithfully deliver despite the weather and the newspaper managers who oversee the entire process, it truly takes a dedicated team to ensure that you have access to quality journalism and essential news.

Editorial Cartoon From Randy Bish

I’d like to take this time to stop and thank all of you that share my cartoons.

To all of you hard-working editors and publishers…with the world being more divided now than ever… and with the lack of respect and decency…with your phones ringing off the hook with irate messages…I know it’s not easy.

I thank you for being the beacon in the darkness that shines the light on those who choose to deceive us.

– Randy Bish

The below editorial cartoons are available for PNA Members to run in their publication during National Newspaper Week.
