Mission The idea for NASNA began in 1996, when two dozen street newspaper came together to explore the possibilities of creating a united network. The following year, in Seattle, NASNA became a reality when 37 papers agreed on a mission, goals, and other strategies to build unity in our movement. In the past decade, many new street papers have started operations, some older ones have closed up shop, and still others have flourished and grown. As of January 2009, NASNA has 27 members in 14 U.S.states and 4 Canadian provinces. NASNA members have a combined monthly circulation of over 287,000. Our members range from quarterly publications with small circulations to popular weekly newspapers that offer job training and social services.
