/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- DaimlerChrysler Corp. continues its
support of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA) as
the organization celebrates its 65th anniversary. This year's
annual convention was held in Chicago, June 22-26, and attracted

professionals, publishers and editors. This year, DaimlerChrysler
was also the signature sponsor for the event's forum on "The Black
Press and the Black Church - Empowering the Community," led by
Bishop T. D. Jakes. More than 4,000 people attended the June 23

black newspapers have played in educating, informing and addressing
issues imperative to the African- American community," said Jason

help preserve these publications by supporting the leadership of
National Newspaper Publishers Association, and encouraging future
generations of readers to support the value of the black press."
For more than 10 years, DaimlerChrysler has affirmed its ongoing
commitment to the publishers of the nation's black newspapers by
supporting the NNPA's entrepreneurial spirit and outreach to their
respective local community relations efforts. The National

America, is a 65-year-old federation of more than 200 Black
community newspapers from across the United States. Since World War
II, it has also served as the industry's news service, a position
that it has held without peer or competitor since the Associated
