Australian Newsagency Blog

The Newsstand Association of Philadelphia has started a blog. I like the mission statement at their blog:

The Newsstand Association of Philadelphia (NAP) was formed by newsstand owners to provide solidarity and support for each other, while providing a much needed service for the general public and business community.

I found their website because I have been researching how newsagents, newsstand owners and similar business operators organise themselves overseas. In particular, I wanted to see how their assocaitions operate, whether they are commercially active or not. One or two are, the majority are not, preferring instead to be focus on member services.

I really like their commitment to solidarity and support.
