News Media Association

The News Media Association (NMA) is a trade body which styles itself as "the voice of national, regional and local news media organisations in the UK". It was created in 2014 by a merger between the Newspaper Society and the Newspaper Publishers' Association. The Newspaper Society, which represented local papers in the United Kingdom, was founded in 1836, and the Newspaper Publishers' Association, which represented national publishers, in 1904. The current chief executive is Owen Meredith.
