SNPA Board approves three new members

During its meeting last Wednesday at the News Industry Summit, the SNPA Board of Directors approved three new members:

• OwnLocal - www.ownlocal.com
OwnLocal is the digital ad platform for local media. OwnLocal works with more than 2,600 media companies and 80,000 SMBs in North America, Europe and Australia to automatically turn traditional print and broadcast advertisements into sophisticated digital marketing campaigns. This adds hundreds of thousands of dollars in new, recurring revenue for its media partners every year and provides a gateway to upsell those customers into larger digital packages. The company is based out of Austin, Texas, and has 65 employees.

• PBI Printing, Inc. - www.pbiprinting.com
  PBI Printing offers full color print services to the newspaper industry. The company would love to offer your newspaper a same-day quote on printing inserts, saddle stitched or perfect bound magazines, calendars and more. They can work with you on short lead times, quick turn-around, and even rush jobs – all at a great price!

• Virtual Paper - www.virtualpaper.com
  Virtual Paper was created in 2005 and was one of the very first online publishers. Led by an established and successful team of IT entrepreneurs and investors, Virtual Paper quickly grew into a global leader serving publishers in North America, South America and Europe. Flash-forward to today, and it continues to be an industry leader and as strong as ever.  Virtual Paper would like to talk with SNPA members about its new product, a mobile native application.
