Promoting news literacy, protecting the First Amendment
and enhancing the capabilities of community newspapers
The National Newspaper Association Foundation will spend the next year focused on ways in which we can raise the public’s awareness of the essential role community newspapers play in educating everyone so they can make informed decisions.
We know community newspapers play a vital role in the civic education of America’s voters; however, we find it harder with each passing year to earn the revenue that allows us to report on public bodies and thoroughly cover our communities’ civic and social issues.
