National Newspaper Week starts in 12 days; site includes many resources, including presentation for civic groups

It's time to start planning for National Newspaper Week, which starts Oct. 2, in only 12 days.

The 82nd annual observance "is a recognition of the service of newspapers and their employees throughout the United States and Canada and is sponsored by Newspaper Association Managers," the National Newspaper Week website says.

Newspapers need more recognition as servants of their communities, now that social media have become dominant. Among the editorials on the website is one titled, "Social media may be fun, but they're no replacement for newspapers."

The website also has logos, cartoons, house ads, ads from the Free Speech Center and the Public Notice Resource Center, information on how to hold community forums on any topic, and a presentation that editors and publishers can give to community groups. And don't forget to make your case on social media, too!
