National Newspaper Week Set for October

The theme this year is "Hometown Newspapers: We’re Here When You Need Us. We’re Here When You Read Us."

National Newspaper Week is designed to urge newspapers to toot their own horns especially since no one else does or will do it. During the week newspapers can use various tools – editorials, cartoons, promotional ads, and columns – to tell their readers how newspapers are important to them.

The 2001 National Newspaper Week kit will be available on the Internet for newspaper to download. Most of the information should be online by early September.
