CALVIN'S DIGEST
BY L. Baynard Whitney
New Press Vitality

By l.. Baynard Whitney
New Press Vitality
New vitality for the advertising
departments Of the Negro press in
the United States was forecast in
a recent conference of far-reaehing
significance, when % publishers
representatives of 81 newspapers
created the Negro Newspaper
Publishers Association. The DE-
TENDERS John H. Sengstake is
president, and the GUIDES Thorn
as w. Young, seeretary-treasurer.
The NNPA set up machinery for
a survey of the Negro market, the
results to be later dramatized and
presented to national advertisers
and their agencies. The gathering
also mulled over the ideas of a
consistent national advertising
policy, a non-profit news gathering
agency or organization, and a pub
fishers information service.
Having grown strong here and
there individually, this is the Sec
ond, and perhaps nor important
cooperating effort undertaken by
the Negro press 1.-THE first was
the Abe clam. 1t is a splendid
start in the right direction, but
with a few important elements
missing, | believe.
Few would argue that our
press has reached the saturation in
circulation among Negro readers;
secondly, the influence of the Me-
gro press upon the white press is
not as strong as it should be. 1t
seems to me that the NNPA should
also set up machinery for inereas-
ing Negro reader interest closer
to the ~saturation point, thus inn
proving or charging the Negro
market through increased circula-
ton. Also, go after WHITE READ
