Tonda Rush Scholarship Fund
This scholarship was created by NNA, ACCN and PNRC numerous other people in the industry to honor Tonda Rush for her years of service to the newspaper industry.
Without audience, we are talking to ourselves.
Whether it is digital or print, or both, having an audience is everything for a community newspaper. Old School: we called it just “circulation.” But now it is everything. It is subscriptions, digital hits, sponsorships, podcast views, newsletter readers and a host of other possibilities.
When you contribute to this fund, you are giving to development and promotion of community newspaper audience.
Each year, NNA awards a cash prize to a newspaper with the best audience development.
In 2026, the fund also will help NNA to support a symposium on digital tools, strategies and defenses at the National Newspaper Association Foundation Annual Convention in Detroit.
Funded by generous supporters of NNA’s work and dedicated to NNA’s long-time executive and counsel Tonda Rush, the fund supports great journalism. It helps to build audience.
We are talking to so many more people, not just ourselves. Invest in the future.
All gifts, large or small, make a difference.
All gifts are restricted to this mission. Please consider a gift today.
