Biden-Harris Campaign Sponsors the National Newspaper
Publishers Association (NNPA) 2024 Annual National Convention in
Baltimore
The Biden-Harris Campaign announced an immediate commitment to a
$1.5 Million advertising-buy with the National Newspaper Publishers
Association (NNPA) representing the Black Press of America across
the United States. The Biden-Harris Campaign also helped to sponsor
the NNPA’s 2024 Annual National Convention in Baltimore, Maryland,
June 19-22, 2024.
Jasmine Harris, Director of National Black Media for
Biden-Harris 2024, made the announcement of the advertising-buy
with the Black Press at the NNPA convention. “In August of last
year, our campaign announced the earliest and largest investment
into Black media for any reelection campaign in history. This
partnership with the NNPA is a continuation of those efforts, and
will strengthen our work in meeting Black voters where they are, to
underscore the stakes of this election for Black America. President
Biden and Vice President Harris are responsible for creating
millions of new jobs for Black workers, and record low Black
unemployment. Black America has far too much to lose this
election.”
Bobby R. Henry Sr., Chairman of the NNPA emphasized, “It is
extremely important to show support of the business side of the
Black Press owned by Black business leaders. Verbal support is
good, but financial support is better.”
This year marks the 197th Anniversary of the Black Press of
America. Dr. Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr, NNPA President and CEO,
concluded, “The Biden-Harris Campaign is being responsive to
interests of Black America through the campaign’s advertising
initiatives with the National Newspapers Publishers Association.
The Black vote throughout the United States will be a key
determinative factor to the outcome of the 2024 national elections.
We profoundly thank the Biden-Harris 2024 Campaign.”
