Analysis
NAICS 513110 is the 2022 national industry for newspaper publishers, part of 51311 (Newspaper Publishers). Census lists 9 example activities under it in the official index.
Its index entries, the activities Census uses to assign businesses to this code, include internet newspaper publishing, newspaper branch offices, newspaper publishers and newspaper publishers (except exclusive Internet publishing), among 9 in all.
Census lists 4 related activities that belong elsewhere, most often in 32311, 516210, 516210 and 541840. Businesses that do several things are classified by their primary activity, the one that generates the most value, so check those boundaries before settling on this code.
For example, printing newspapers without publishing are classified in 32311 (Printing) instead.
County Business Patterns publishes no national count for it, either because the code is out of the survey's scope or because the figures are suppressed to protect individual businesses.
