The
International Society of Weekly Newspaper Editors (ISWNE) was founded

chair of SIU's Department of Journalism at Carbondale, and Houstoun Waring,
then editor of the Littleton (Colo.) Independent.

Purpose
The
ISWNE's purpose is to help those involved in the weekly press to improve
standards of editorial writing and news reporting and to encourage strong,
independent editorial voices. The society seeks to fulfill its purpose
by holding annual conferences, issuing awards, issuing publications, and
encouraging international exchanges.
