Our member newspapers are the leading source of news and advertising in the communities we serve. Find a newspaper or inquire about membership in SCPA.

The objectives of the SCPA, as set out in our charter, are to:

    • Promote the welfare of the newspaper profession
    • To elevate its standards and to enlarge its usefulness
    • To foster friendly relationships among its members

SCPA provides services that include lobbying, a legal/FOI hotline, industry legal representation, advertising representation, conventions and workshops for members and publications. One of the greatest benefits of SCPA is fostering better contact and a closer relationship among the working press in the Palmetto State. 

The association’s headquarters are located in Columbia. We are classified as a not-for-profit association.
