The Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association is a trade association for all paid-circulation daily, weekly, and multi-weekly newspapers in the U.S. state of Oregon. It represents and promotes newspapers, [1] and encourages excellence in reporting and coverage with an annual series of awards. [2]
History
The organization was established as the Oregon Press Association in 1887. It was renamed the Oregon State Editorial Association in 1909, and adopted its current name in 1936. [3] It currently has about 80 member newspapers plus additional associate member and collegiate member newspapers. [4]
Mission
Besides providing advertising distribution, it also provides aggregation of public notices and other information from its member newspapers, [5] including state and city calls for bids, changes in municipal code, foreclosures, estate claims, forfeited property, probate, summons, and similar information. [6]
It also may sponsor and organize political debates, such as the 2014 governor candidates' debate. [7]
