Better Newspaper Contest

You work all year long to create meaningful work, investigative pieces and community storytelling. Show it off! The Better Newspaper Contest is the highly-anticipated opportunity for page designers, ad sales teams, reporters, editors and photographers to shine. The annual contest culminates at the WNPA convention the first weekend in October, when awards are announced.

Past awards will be shown here soon. In the meantime, you can find an archive of our awards tabs going back to 2016 here.

Advocacy

The WNPA works with Allied Daily Newspapers of Washington, the Washington State Association of Broadcasters, the National Newspaper Association and citizen groups committed to the sustainability of local journalism to advocate at the state and national level. From tarrifs on newsprint to the scraping of publisher's content by AI without compensation, the threats to publishers and journalism in all forms is significant.

Training

Every facet of news publishing is rapidly changing and it's imperative that publishing teams are provided up-to-date training. Through WNPA membership, Online Media Campus supplies webinars

The WNPA hosts the online repository of Legal Advertisements run in every paper in Washington State.
