Every newspaper serves a different community, but together we share the same purpose: keeping people informed, preserving the public record and protecting the public’s right to know.
The platforms will change. Technology will change.
The need for trusted local journalism won’t.
Join newspapers across North America in celebrating National Newspaper Week Oct. 4-10.
Since 1940, Newspaper Association Managers (NAM) has sponsored and supported National Newspaper Week, a week-long promotion of the newspaper industry in the United States and Canada.
Newspapers inform their communities, hold government accountable and tell the stories no one else will. That commitment is at the heart of National Newspaper Week 2026 and this year’s theme: “Rooted in Community, Committed to Truth.”
Use National Newspaper Week as an opportunity to remind your community why local journalism matters. While you're encouraged to write a local Op-ed or special feature, you can also share the ads, columns, cartoons and games shared by the NAM. View and download deliverables here.
