Syndicates

UFS | NEA | SHNS

United Feature Syndicate (UFS) provides award-winning political commentary including columns by COKIE ROBERTS AND STEVEN V. ROBERTS and MARY MITCHELL, articles from THE NEW REPUBLIC, a variety of coverage from SCRIPPS HOWARD NEWS SERVICE and advice from experts including MISS MANNERS' Judith Martin and workplace911's Bob Rosner. UFS distributes insightful and hilarious editorial cartoons from such artists as ROB ROGERS and BILL DAY, and beloved comics that include PEANUTS, GET FUZZY and DILBERT. United Feature Syndicate, Inc. is an E.W. Scripps company.

United Feature Syndicate was founded in 1922, and went on to fame as the syndicator of such household names as Carl Sandburg, Ernest Hemingway, Ring Lardner, and a host of superstar comics including PEANUTS, the most beloved comic strip in history. Eleanor Roosevelt wrote her "My Day" column for United Feature Syndicate from 1936 until 1962, becoming the first First Lady in history to write a newspaper column. Today, United Media features (from both NEA and UFS) appear in virtually every daily newspaper in the United States, in nearly 100 countries, in many languages -- from English to Russian and Spanish to Chinese and Afrikaans. Our comics are among the most popular features on the World Wide Web, visited by several million viewers every month at www.comics.com.

Newspaper Enterprise Association (NEA) offers a comprehensive and cost-effective package of features for all sections of the newspaper. NEA offers highly acclaimed political commentary including the work of MORTON KONDRACKE, Nat Hentoff's SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY and KATHRYN JEAN LOPEZ'S column; a lineup of editorial cartoons featuring JEFF STAHLER and ED STEIN; comics including such favorites as FRANK AND ERNEST and THE BORN LOSER; the humor writing of THE VILLAGE IDIOT's Jim Mullen; advice on how to live comfortably on a sensible budget from FRUGAL LIVING's Sara Noel; and a selection of graphics and illustrations, all available through The NEA Daily Service. Newspaper Enterprise Association, Inc. is an E.W. Scripps company.

NEA dates back to 1893, when E.W. Scripps' older sister, Ellen Browning Scripps, wrote "Miss Ellen's Miscellany," a column of human-interest tidbits. Scripps began clipping her column and other feature stories from various Scripps newspapers and sending them to other papers. The exchange of material became so popular that in 1902, it was institutionalized as Newspaper Enterprise Association, one of the first newspaper syndicates (which enable newspapers to share the costs of news, features, and comics rather than each newspaper hiring its own staff to produce all of its content). NEA became a great innovator in syndication, developing the Telephoto transceiver, setting up production facilities in railroad trains to speed delivery to clients, and maintaining its own carrier pigeon coop so that NEA photographers on ships arriving in New York could get their film to NEA ahead of their competitors.

One great news service combines 125 years of excellence in reporting, writing and design with the hottest features from America's fastest-growing television networks. Scripps Howard News Service makes sense of the news, the trends and the styles in ways that serve today's readers.
