Washington Newspaper Publishers Association is an advocate for community newspapers, freedom of the press and open government. The association is dedicated to helping members advance editorial excellence, financial viability, professional development, and a high standard of publication quality and community leadership.
The WNPA works year-round to support our community newspapers through advocacy, staff training, and working with the WNPA Foundation to support the development of new journalists through on-the-job training and internships. We’re also pleased to gather annually, providing networking opportunities for our members to learn from each other and celebrate their work in the Better Newspaper Contest.
