Estonian Newspaper Association
The Estonian Newspaper Association (Estonian: Eesti Ajalehtede Liit) is an umbrella organisation representing common interests of newspapers published in Estonia. As of July 28, 2007, it represents 41 publications.[1]
The association was established in 1990 and has been a member of World Association of Newspapers since 1991.
Estonian Press Council[edit]
In 2002 the association established the Estonian Press Council (Avaliku Sõna Nõukogu), with the purpose of the supervision of the Estonian press. It is a self-regulating body of the Estonian press. It provides a possibility to settle readers' complaints out of court, free of charge.[2]
Press Friend Award[edit]
Since 1994, the association has given out a yearly Press Friend award[3] and an accompanying Press Enemy award. The Press Friend award comes with a stylised sculpture of a megaphone; there is no accompanying sculpture for the Press Enemy award.
