The American Association of Independent News Distributors (AAIND) was established in 1972 to create a forum for independent newspaper distributors and local, national and international publishers throughout the United States and Canada to explore business opportunites and exchange ideas in the ever-changing newspaper industry.Our members' services range from home delivery, single copy, vending, trucking, customer service, wholesale magazine distribution, mailing services and much more.

Our goal is to educate our publisher/distributor/vendor members on new practices, new technologies and changing laws effecting the industry, as well as to serve as a resource to bring these three categories of membership together. Through our website, our guarterly newsletters, our conferences and our frequent e-news messages we strive to give our members the tools they need to remain competitive in the marketplace
