Empowering Independent Publishers

The Eastern Cape Publishers NPO (ECPC) is a dynamic group of independent publishers based in the Eastern Cape Province. Our NPO brings together a diverse array of local media outlets, each dedicated to serving their communities with integrity and a deep understanding of local issues.
Our members are part of the Association of Independent Publishers of South Africa (AIP), a respected body that champions the cause of independent media in the country. This affiliation ensures that our members adhere to high standards of journalistic excellence and ethical practices.
Our membership includes both print and online community newspapers, reflecting the diverse media landscape and the evolving ways people consume news. From traditional print formats that reach older and rural demographics to digital platforms that engage younger and urban audiences, our members are committed to delivering news that is timely, relevant, and accessible.
