American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers

Portrait of founder Louis N. Hammerling, ca.1912

The American Association of Foreign Language Newspapers was founded by Louis Nicholas Hammerling in 1908. ^[1] It served as an intermediary between "respectable national advertisers", and the foreign-language newspapers that profited from publishing advertisements. ^[2] Frances Kellor ^[3] led the effort after Hammerling's patriotism came under question ca.1918. ^{[2] [4] [5]} Critics included Robert Ezra Park. ^[6]
