NNA moves Congressional Action Team Summit one week later in 2020
January 1, 2020
National Newspaper Association is taking the unusual step of moving its Congressional Action Team Summit to new dates in 2020.
The Summit will now be March 25 to 27, 2020, according to NNA’s Public Policy Director Tonda Rush.
“Because NNA has to make event arrangements well ahead of the final Congressional schedule each session, we sometimes find we have chosen dates that land on a Congressional recess. That is what happened for our next Summit. We are now moving the event to make it one week later than previously announced dates,” Rush said.

Republicans block HR 2382
January 1, 2020
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The days before Congress makes big spending decisions are traditionally the most active for NNA’s Congressional Action Team. That is when House and Senate leadership get serious about packaging bills that are in their queue into one giant measure for an up-or-down vote.
It is also traditionally when measures that affect the U.S. Postal Service are passed — or not passed. The CAT’s archives in December chalked up one more big effort to improve the odds for maintaining universal service across the United States. But its efforts came to naught as Republicans blocked a bill NNA had supported.
Postal Tips: Electronic paid/requester subscriptions can count as valuable add-ons in certain circumstances
January 1, 2020
The ability to count electronic subscriptions on the annual postal Statement of Ownership, Management and Circulation, PS Form 3526, has been established since 2012. I have not revisited the subject since then, when a third page was added to the form to make counting possible.
