Legislative Activities
NYPA's legislative committee monitors legislation which affects New York's
community newspaper industry. The association uses an on-line legislative
monitoring program to track bills and for background to prepare memorandums
and briefs to various legislative committees. NYPA keeps close watch on
pending bills that not only have the potential to effect your newspaper's
content but also your bottom line.
The legislative committee works closely with the National Newspaper
Association and the Newspaper Association of America on federal issues, such
as postal rates.
NYPA also assists newspapers with open government issues, freedom of
information problems, fair trial/free press questions, and legal notice
publication requirements.
