Looking to generate new revenue for the 2^nd half of the year? America’s Newspapers has a program to help!

We are partnering with the award-winning team at Content That Works to provide members the opportunity to launch high-quality and advertise-ready content packages in their markets. Each month, starting in July, there will be a new content package delivered on a highly relevant and sellable topic.

These content packages are fresh and produced by professional journalists. Up-to-date and new with each release, the stories are never sponsored or considered “advertorial.” You can customize the content to publish however you please — whether it’s for feature content in ROP print, digital or as a standalone section. Run the content all at once or over several weeks; the choice is up to you.

Volunteers are needed to help judge the entries for this year's Carmage Walls Commentary Prize.

This award recognizes outstanding commentary on local issues.

We are seeking publishers, newsroom editors or reporters, editorial page editors or writers, columnists or journalism educators to help evaluate the entries.

If you volunteer, you will be asked to review between 33 and 40 editorials.

Of course, if your newspaper (or corporate group) has an entry in the contest, that will disqualify you from being a judge.

But, please volunteer! And, we'll use your help, if possible! Be sure to specify the group ownership of your paper when you volunteer.

You might have noticed an announcement in the paper a couple of weeks back about us being sold. Again. Fifty-four years with Swift Communications, then five months Ogden Newspapers, then — whoosh — a new owner June 1.

One of the bigger changes is our associate publisher/advertising director, Julia Stidham, will be the publisher now, and I am returning to the newsroom as editor.
