Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA) offers a comprehensive and cost-effective
package of features for all sections of the newspaper. NEA offers highly acclaimed
political commentary including the work of MORTON KONDRACKE, Nat Hentoff's SWEET LAND
OF LIBERTY and KATHRYN JEAN LOPEZ'S column; a lineup of editorial cartoons featuring
JEFF STAHLER and ED STEIN; comics including such favorites as FRANK AND ERNEST and
THE BORN LOSER; the humor writing of THE VILLAGE IDIOT's Jim Mullen; advice on how to
live comfortably on a sensible budget from FRUGAL LIVING's Sara Noel; and a selection
of graphics and illustrations, all available through The NEA Daily Service. Newspaper
Enterprise Association, Inc. is an E.W. Scripps company.
NEA dates back to 1893, when E.W. Scripps' older sister, Ellen Browning Scripps,
wrote "Miss Ellen's Miscellany," a column of human-interest tidbits. Scripps began
clipping her column and other feature stories from various Scripps newspapers and
sending them to other papers. The exchange of material became so popular that in
1902, it was institutionalized as Newspaper Enterprise Association, one of the first
newspaper syndicates (which enable newspapers to share the costs of news, features,
and comics rather than each newspaper hiring its own staff to produce all of its
content). NEA became a great innovator in syndication, developing the Telephoto
transceiver, setting up production facilities in railroad trains to speed delivery to
clients, and maintaining its own carrier pigeon coop so that NEA photographers on
ships arriving in New York could get their film to NEA ahead of their competitors.
