More advertising revenue. The All-Communities Advertising Service (allCAS) works to attract a range of advertisers, including national campaigns, to our member publications. Nonmembers are also eligible for ad placement, but members keep a larger percent of revenues and have the opportunity to help us plan future campaigns. Representatives from your newspaper may also be eligible to sell ads for allCAS.

Technical assistance and training. NYCMA arranges yearly workshops on topics such as graphic design, sales, and preparing for an audit. NYCMA's technical assistance manuals, covering topics from advertising and distribution to legal resources, are free to members.

Access to public figures. City and state officials often don't make time for smaller publications. With our frequent Independent Press Clubs, you have a chance to pose questions to officials in person. Past Press Clubs featured the police commissioner, schools chancellor, and state attorney general.

Higher visibility. With our ethnic press directory distributed around the city, allCAS raising the profile of local publications and markets with advertisers, and events that introduce city officials to editors, your paper is going to be seen. Articles syndicated in the Voices That Must Be Heard project get read far beyond their first publication, reaching outlets around the city and on the Internet.

Networking opportunities. Press clubs, trainings, and our listserv provide opportunities for members to share insights and develop partnerships with each other and our community allies.
