NENPA AFFILIATES

New England Society of News Editors (NESNE)

The New England Society of News Editors is committed to supporting the work of its members, whether it be providing workshops and seminars, helping them grow their audience through social media, or finding counsel for First Amendment and public records law issues. NESNE is helping to make a difference in journalism and to increase the clout of newsroom managers and content producers throughout the six-state region. We are expanding our membership to include TV and radio broadcasters, academicians, and more who share our common goal to provide quality journalism to our customers.

Massachusetts Newspaper Publishers Association (MNPA)

MNPA focuses on two general areas of interest: matters relating to the business of publishing and editorial interests, particularly as they relate to constitutional issues. For more than three decades, we have successfully confronted initiatives impacting newspaper publishing, and those which would erode public access to information and personnel related to town, city and state government activities.

Membership is open to all daily and weekly newspapers in Massachusetts. Virtually all the dailies and more than half the weeklies are members. We represent the principles embodied in the First Amendment vigorously, and make every effort to bring understanding on the part of lawmakers as to our function and the problems created by others that would impede it.

New England High School Journalism Collaborative

Is a one-week all-expense-paid summer workshop for aspiring young journalists throughout New England. Program participants learn to report, write, and edit for a newspaper, and produce multimedia projects for a website. Professional reporters, editors, photographers, and designers from New England news organizations also work with the participants throughout the duration of the program to offer insights and a window into a career in journalism.

The summer workshop is a unique opportunity for students to gain hands-on experience in journalism. Students will be sent on assignments in the Boston area and will be exposed to working on a deadline to create their own newspaper.
