Pennsylvania Newspaper Association

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pennsylvania Newspaper Association (PNA) is the official trade organization for Pennsylvania newspapers. It was founded in 1925 as the Pennsylvania Newspaper Publishers Association (PNBA). The name was changed in the late 1990s to deemphasize the association's relationship with publishing management.[1] It is affiliated with the National Newspaper Association (NNA) and the Newspaper Association of America (NAA).
