Regular Membership
Information
SNA has both corporate and regular memberships available to publishing companies
with one or more newspapers. SNA members may be dailies, weeklies, free or paid.
SNA members can cover suburban, urban or rural communities. Metro dailies are not
eligible for membership. The news content of the member newspapers must be originated
locally and be of general interest to the community for which the paper is published.
Generally speaking, SNA member newspapers are the dominant source of local news
and local advertising in the communities that they serve.
Annual Dues
Regular Membership dues are calculated based on a formula of .027 (i.e., just under
3 cents) multiplied by each unduplicated circulation copy. All mastheads published
by that company within the same area will be counted for dues purposes. (Example:
group of newspapers with 80,000 circulation: 80,000 x .027 = $2,160). The minimum
cost for regular membership is $550; maximum cost is $3,895.
All dues will be pro-rated based on the month in which a new member first joins
the association. Thereafter, all membership dues are renewable at the start of
the new calendar year.
