The National Newspaper Association (NNA) is a Pensacola, Florida–based non-profit newspaper trade association founded in 1885.[2][3]

History

The National Newspaper Association was founded by Benjamin Briggs Herbert on February 19, 1885, as the National Editorial Association (NEA) in New Orleans, Louisiana.[1][4][5] The NEA's constitution was ratified after a meeting in 1886 and Benjamin Briggs Herbert was elected president of the organization.[6][7] In 1891, Edwin William Stephens became the sixth president of National Editorial Association after a discussion at the organization's seventh annual convention.[7][8][9] The National Editorial Association changed its name to the National Newspaper Association after a Dallas, Texas, meeting in 1964.[10]

Conventions

Since the organization's founding, the National Newspaper Association has held an annual news convention.[11][12] At the conventions, newspaper editors meet and discuss various publishing related topics.[13][14] An informal convention had taken place in New Orleans after the organization's founding.[15] The organization's first formal convention took place on February 23, 1886, in Cincinnati, Ohio.[16][17]
