Newsprint Conservation Guide

The new NAA Newsprint Conservation Guide, introduced at NEXPO'95, was developed to provide constructive ideas for newspaper publishers to use in response to newsprint price increases and supply shortages. The guide is composed of tips from many sources within the newspaper and newsprint industries. It can aid newspapers in starting or expanding a conservation program, or improving their decision-making and operational procedures.

The guide offers tips on how to:

• Reduce overall newsprint usage based on the size of the specific newspaper's market and the type of printing process it uses.
• Trim page-space requirements.
• Utilize each roll of newsprint to the fullest extent possible.
• Target the exact number of copies needed for circulation.

The guide is a key part of NAA's Newsprint Management Initiative announced on Jan. 18. To order, call (800) 651-4622 and ask for item number 10030. NAA-member price is $30.
