AAJA partners with many journalist organizations to help out professional and soon-to-be professional journalists. in April of last year, we, along with the Radio Television Digital News Association and the Bay Area Black Journalists Association hosted a mixer and portfolio review at UC Berkeley’s School of Journalism.

Participants got to sit one-on-one with professional journalists to discuss their portfolio and network. Here are some shots from the event!

Some news from our friends at the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ): Early Bird Registration for the NAHJ International Training Conference and Career Fair in Miami, FL is this Saturday, March 31.

The conference will run from July 18-21 at the InterContintental Miami. You don’t have to be of Hispanic heritage to attend this conference! If you support the mission of people of color in journalism, then that’s enough reason to go and support NAHJ.

Last weekend, the March for Our Lives took place in Washington, DC. Thousands of supporters — many of them young people — descended onto the nation’s capital to advocate for gun control laws.

Hundreds of young journalists followed these protesters to cover one of the largest coordinated gun-related marches in the nation’s history.

Here’s a fascinating piece from the Student Press Law Center that offers a first-person perspective of the march from the eyes of student journalists.
