Have experience listing newspapers as an option on local shopping e-commerce platforms?

Dec 1, 2023

When it comes to community newspapers, YOU are the experts — our own members.

NNA members have the option of posing question, thoughts, concerns, great ideas and bad ideas to peers using the closed NNA–member Facebook group.

Recently, a member contacted NNA Executive Director Lynne Lance regarding listing newspapers as a purchase option on e-commerce shopping platforms — specifically Walmart delivery.

NNA members are encouraged to join the closed Facebook group and share any relevant experience.

Other relevant platforms could include DoorDash, Instacart, Uber Eats, etc.
