The Newspaper Purchasing Management Association was established in 1958 by a group of newspaper purchasing executives, spearheaded by Thomas A. Corcoran, Purchasing Director of The Courier Journal and Louisville Times. Today the NPMA consists of approximately 100 regular members representing newspapers and newspaper groups of all sizes from throughout the U.S. and Canada and is a valuable resource for knowledge, best-practices and career growth.

The NPMA was organized for the following purposes:

  • To promote the study, development and application of improved purchasing methods, practices and techniques in the newspaper publishing industry.
  • To foster and promote interchange of ideas and cooperation among its members.
  • To collect and disseminate information of interest and benefit to its membership.
  • To encourage and cooperate in the institution of ethical standards in buying and selling.
  • To strive by all legitimate means to advance the purchasing profession within the industry.
  • To be irrevocably dedicated to, and to be operated exclusively for, non-profit purposes.

Since it's inception, the organization has strived to be a proactive resource for it's members and provide an opportunity for purchasing professionals to share knowledge, leverage the collective skills and talents of the members and serve as a conduit for professional development.

Our members come from broad and diverse backgrounds and form strong bonds that benefit the members professionally and personally. Our newsletter, web site, annual conference and committee meetings help members stay in contact and exchange ideas.

The NPMA is committed to the highest standards of the purchasing profession. The Association discourages disclosure or discussion of confidential prices or other confidential information. It is also the policy of the Association to support the antitrust and ethical standards endorsed by the Institute for Supply Management
