A New Chapter for the Black Press: Dr. John Warren Elected Chairman of NNPA

In a historic stride that bridges decades of journalistic legacy with bold forward-thinking leadership, Dr. John E. Warren, publisher of the San Diego Voice & Viewpoint, has been elected Chairman of the National Newspaper Publishers Association (NNPA). At the 2025 NNPA Annual Convention held in Savannah, Georgia, Warren became only the third West Coast leader in the 85-year history of the organization—ushering in a visionary new era for more than 230 Black-owned newspapers and media companies across the United States.
