History

The Association of Alternative Newsweeklies was founded in 1978 in Seattle, Washington, with 30 newspapers from America's largest cities.
In July 2011, the organization's name was changed to the Association of Alternative Newsmedia by a vote of members attending the group's annual meeting. In July 2024, the name was updated to AAN Publishers to reflect the increasing diversity of its roughly 120 member publications, including a number of non-profit, LGBTQ+ focused and smaller Web-only newsrooms.

Members

The association is made up of about 120 publications published in the 32 U.S. states, Washington, D.C., and Sydney, Australia.
