Find Out How to Connect With Your Young-Reader Colleagues

We operate two forums (aka "listservs") for newspaper professionals with an interest in young-reader initiatives: one for Newspaper In Education, the other for the Youth Editorial Alliance. Both give participants the change to exchange ideas, seek feedback and share helpful information about young-reader developments and issues at newspapers of all sizes and formats. If you are not currently participating and would like to register for one or both forums, send an e-mail to naafoundation@naa.org with the subject line "Join Forum." Be sure to include your name, job title, newspaper name and full contact information (street address, e-mail and phone number).
