Welcome to the Newspapers on Wikipedia (NOW) WikiProject Newspapers! Scope: This project covers the creation and editing of articles about administrative divisions within countries. As a starting point, there should be a list for each country and sometimes administrative divisions showing current as well as defunct newspapers headquartered in those regions. (See the #Lists at the bottom of this page that includes links to lists of newspapers in each country in continents and other topical lists.) The lists should be comprehensive and give important information about the name, headquarters location, frequency of publication, date established, date the newspaper ceased publication for defunct newspapers, owner of the publication, circulation numbers for a given year, and references for each newspaper. Lists of newspapers are often found in articles about newspaper publishing companies. The template {{WikiProject Newspapers|class=|importance=}} should be included and completed with a selection for class (stub or higher) and importance (low or higher) on the talk page of each article that is part of this project.
This project is closely related to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Journalism, which covers more broadly history, persons, companies, and other aspects of the field of journalism. As of 11 June 2024, there are 11,654 articles within the scope of WikiProject Newspapers, of which 3 are featured and 32 are good articles. This makes up 0.17% of the articles on Wikipedia, 0.03% of all featured articles and lists, and 0.08% of all good articles. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etcetera, there are 32,764 pages in the project. Creating articles and lists about newspapersThe following steps should be used to create new articles and lists about newspapers:
For difficult problems about new newspapers, go to Resolve Issues to either put difficult pages in that queue or attempt to resolve them. If editors hit thorny issues with a page (e.g. can't find anything on a page, can't sort through convoluted history, etc) they will put it here for people looking for a challenge.
