olack ruhnshm Condemn Attempt To Ban Tobacco
Special To The Poet
. .Washington, DC - Tie nation's
principal organisation of black
newspaper publishers has con
demned recent proposals that to
bacco advertising be banned in the
print media.
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.
