Missouri Press is a comprehensive organization that consists of three branches - Association, Foundation, and Service. Founded in 1867, the Missouri Press Association serves member newspapers by preserving the industry's history and advocating for its future in Jefferson City. Missouri Press Service acts as a representative for newspaper advertising, offering assistance in placing ads across various newspapers and websites. The Missouri Press Foundation, a non-profit corporation, focuses on journalism scholarships, educational seminars, historical preservation, and other activities to support the newspaper industry. Newspapers are vital employers in over 230 cities and towns in Missouri, playing a crucial role in keeping communities informed, driving local retail business, and fostering economic development. The organization emphasizes the importance of newspapers and the free flow of information for a progressive Missouri, highlighting the potential loss of other institutions like schools, banks, hospitals, restaurants, and retail stores if a community loses its local newspaper.Generated from the website
