As we close out the year, the staff and Board of Directors of the New England Newspaper & Press Association extend our warmest wishes to you and your families for a joyful holiday season and a peaceful, healthy, and hopeful New Year.

This has been another year marked by both challenge and resilience for journalism and the media. At a time when the work of local news is too often questioned, criticized, or under fire, we are continually inspired by the journalists, editors, publishers, photographers, designers, students, and newsroom professionals across New England who show up every day with integrity, courage, and a deep commitment to public service. Your work matters. Your voices matter. And your role in strengthening informed, connected communities has never been more essential.

Even in uncertain times, we remain optimistic about the future of local journalism—because of you. The creativity, collaboration, and dedication we see across our region give us reason for hope, and we are proud to stand with you as an advocate, partner, and supporter of your work.

Please note that the NENPA office will be closed on December 25 and 26, as well as January 1. Our weekly eBulletin will take a brief holiday break and will return on Friday, January 9, with industry news, resources, training opportunities, and updates from across the region.

We are deeply grateful for your continued engagement, support, and trust. It is truly a privilege to represent and serve the daily, weekly, specialty, and online news organizations that make up New England’s vibrant local news ecosystem.

We wish you time to rest, reflect, and recharge during the holiday season, and we look forward to working alongside you in the year ahead—continuing to support strong, independent journalism and to gather, learn, and celebrate together in the months to come.

Warmest regards,

The NENPA Team
