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.
