Postal Summit newsletters on way to members
MPA member newspapers will next week receive a copy of the National Newspaper Association’s recent Postal Summit report tabloid that recently appeared in the latest edition of Publisher’s Auxiliary, NNA’s monthly newsletter.
The eight-page tabloid special details proceedings from the conference, held in August in Washington, D.C., that featured remarks by Postmaster General Jack Potter who defended the proposed 25-30 percent rate hike for in-county periodicals mail.
Other key issues addressed during the summit include, according to NNA, “deteriorating service beyond delivery unit-entered mail” and “the threat of new flats sequencing automation scheme.”
The tabloid also contains a wealth of other useful data for newspaper publishers and circulation directors, including insightful graphs that breaks down information on major domestic mail classes, in-county costs and bundles and flats. A detailed explanation of procedures in addressing newspaper delivery issues with USPS is also included, as is a handy reference of USPS commonly-used acronyms.
Look for the Postal Summit report from NNA and MPA in your mailboxes the week of October 2.
