The Ohio News Media Association is a trade organization in the newspaper publishing industry based in Columbus, Ohio. Founded in 1933 as the Ohio Newspaper Association, it grew from earlier groups that united weekly and daily publishers to share trade information and collectively sell advertising. The association serves Ohio’s daily and qualifying weekly newspapers by offering a program of member services such as government relations, publications, seminars and training, legal assistance, group insurance, and advertising services, supporting publishers in navigating policy issues, industry standards, and operational needs. Its activities target newspapers across the state, providing resources that help member outlets manage regulatory, legal, and business challenges inherent to the sector. The organization is small in size and operates from its Columbus office, continuing to represent and support Ohio’s news media ecosystem within the broader publishing industry.
