Below excerpted from the Independent Press Association-New York website (http://www.indypressny.org/contact.shtml):
The IPA is a nonprofit that supports independent publications committed to social justice and a free press. If you publish in the public interest, you need the IPA. Since our founding in 1997, over 575 magazines and newspapers - large and small - have taken advantage of our technical assistance manuals, distribution broker, vendor discounts and revolving loan fund. We''ve learned we are stronger when we work together.
National IPA programs include a loan fund; an environmentally friendly paper-buying program; BigTop Newsstand Services, a distribution program; New Voices in Independent Publishing, a leadership and fellowship program for mid-career journalists of color; a job board for independent publications, and a pension plan. Visit the IPA programs page for more information on these projects.
