:: National LGBT Newspaper Alliance Forms ::
A new National Gay Media Association (NGMA) has formed to bring together the top regional newspapers serving the U.S. lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) communities. The LGBT market controls more than $600 billion in annual spending, and NGMA will work to coordinate advertising spending in effective local LGBT media markets.

NGMA is a new alliance of the "best of the best" in LGBT media, representing long-time brand names in regional media, including the Bay Area Reporter in San Francisco and the Washington Blade, both founded over 40 years ago, just at the start of the modern gay-rights movement. Other NGMA members are Bay Windows (Boston), Between the Lines (Detroit), the Dallas Voice, Gay City News (New York City), GA Voice (Atlanta), and Windy City Times (Chicago). These papers, along with their digital extensions represent an estimated 500,000 weekly newspaper readers.
