The 165-member National News paper Publishers Association ■ (NNPA) termed such efforts “hn infringement upon first amendment rights,” and the bllshers described committed to “the enforcement of all constitutional rights.” In a resolution approved in prin ciple by the membership in January and made public recently, the black newspaper publishers argued that smoking issues should be addressed through “increased education and not by the elimination of advertis ing in newspapers and other publications.” In addition, the resolution said "tobacco products have already ^— been.banned from radio and tele vision advertising without any appreciable reduction in sales.” The American Medical Associa tion's (AMA) recent call for a Federal ban on tabacco advertising in all media has been the object of considerable discussion during the NNPA's recent Mid-Winter Work shop. Christopher H. Bennett, President of the NNPA and publisher of The Seattle Medium, appointed a special committee to prepare a resolution that would express the concerns of the publishers about proposals to ban tobacco advertising. The resolution said: “The production of tobacco in the United States is legal and the manufacture and sale of tobacco products are legal. Products that can be legally sold in our society are entitled to be legally advertised.” Founded in 1940, the NNPA's membership comes, for the most part, from the larger of the nation's more than 400 black, weekly news papers. Headquartered in Washing ton, DC, the Association functions to keep its membership up to date on a variety of industry matters, includ ing marketing techniques and printing technology. It functions, as well, to provide the publishers with a network for the exchange of ideas.
