The North American Street Newspaper Association (NASNA) just launched it’s website today. It still has a few bugs, but for the most part we got it up and running.

The volunteer organization continues to grow with representation in 26 cities throughout North America.

Three newspapers from the Pacific Northwest belong to NASNA, including Street Roots, Portland, Real Change, Seattle, and The Rising Times in Spokane.

In June, the organization will be merging with the International Network of Street Newspapers (INSP) in Montreal, Quebec, during the annual conference. The merger will create more than 120 papers worldwide in Asia, Europe, Africa, Australia, North and South America.
