October 8^th marks the beginning of  ‘Local Newspaper Week’. Local Newspaper Week is a new initiative created by NNI Local & Regional and the RNPAI to promote one of the ‘lifebloods’ of communities around the country – the local newspaper.

Amongst other activities, Local Newspaper Week (LNW) will feature a symposium in DCU; a full-length programme on RTE, which will be broadcast on October 8^th; and a special supplement. A comprehensive marketing plan will include advertising and will be supported by our media partner, Newstalk. Meanwhile, local newspapers throughout Ireland will celebrate the week with their own in-house activities.

All of these great events and activities will encourage advertisers and consumers to continue supporting local newspapers. So, from October 8^th make sure to pick up your local newspaper!
