Mixed Bag
Newspaper
Exchange |
In a continuing effort to provide its members with an
opportunity to learn from their peers and improve the
quality of their own publications, CCNA coordinates a
newspaper exchange program known as the "Mixed Bag".
Participants in the program receive at least two community
newspapers from across Canada every week. In turn, each
participant sends one copy of their newspaper once a year
to all other participants, using labels provided by CCNA.
Winners of the Best All Round Newspaper in the General
Excellence category in CCNA's Better Newspapers Competition
are automatically placed in the program, with the hope
that other newspapers may get some benefit from studying
a newspaper judged to be best in its circulation category.
Currently, there are approximately 170 CCNA member newspapers
participating in the program. Non-member participants
include journalism departments at Canadian colleges and
universities, and individuals who have an interest in
the community newspaper industry. Annual fees for the
Mixed Bag are $50 plus GST for CCNA members or $80 plus
GST for non-members. Contact CCNA for more information
about this valuable educational tool.

Assistant, by phone at 1-877-305-2262 x21
