National Newspaper Week, Oct. 2-8, touts papers' leading role in providing news on all platforms

The theme of the 76th annual National Newspaper Week, to be celebrated Sunday-Saturday, Oct. 2-8, is "Way to Know!" The site says "the aim is to applaud and underscore newspaper media's role as the leading provider of news in print, online or in palms via mobile devices." Free materials, including editorials, columns, editorial cartoons, and promotional ads tailored to most states are scheduled to be made available today on the NNW website. If you're in a hurry to get something in a weekly paper this week, you can use materials from previous years. New and archived materials will be available on the site year-round.
