Natl. Newspaper Week starts Sun.; Newspaper Association Managers' website has editorials, cartoons and lots more

National Newspaper Week is nearly here. The 82nd annual week of recognition for newspapers and their employees starts this Sunday and lasts until Oct. 8. 

Check the website for National Newspaper Week, which is sponsored by Newspaper Association Managers, for a list of logos, ads which can be localized to your newspaper, ready-made social media posts, resources to help start community forums and a list of editorials on the importance of newspapers. 

In an age of partisan cable news and social media , trustworthy newspaper reporting has never been more needed, writes Brett Wesner, the chair of the National Newspaper Association, in one editorial. 

"Americans believe in and rely upon community newspapers," Wesner concludes. "Are we in a crisis of revenue? Yes, most certainly. But relevance? We have that hands down."
