Active Newspaper Membership

I am pleased that you are interested in applying for weekly membership for your newspaper with the Minnesota Newspaper Association. Enclosed are four items for your review: 1) a current Board of Directors list, 2) an application form, 3) an information sheet about Minnesota Newspaper Association, and 4) a recent Bulletin.

The procedure to apply for membership is:

• Write a letter to the Board of Directors, giving details about your paper (when you started, circulation, trade area, etc.), as well as filling out       an application form.

• Send a copy of the letter, along with three recent issues of your paper to each Board member.

• Send a copy of the letter and a rate card, as well as three issues, to Lisa Hills at MNA, 12 South Sixth Street, Suite 1120, Minneapolis, MN     55402.

Dues for 2007 are based on your column inch advertising rate. Dues for a weekly with less than 3,000 circulation are 100 times column inch rate. A weekly with circulation over 3,000 is 125 times column inch rate. The minimum is $300, maximum of $1,620 for both. You may contact Lenora Steman, MNA accountant, for the amount of your dues.

Your dues include sending four copies of every issue of your paper to our office which we use for advertising tearsheets and for the clipping service.

The Board meets during the year in May, June, October, and December at which time they will consider your application.

Best regards,

Lisa Hills
Executive Director
