It is committed to strengthening ties among black journalists; sensitizing all media to the importance of fairness in the workplace for black journalists; and expanding job opportunities and recruiting activities for veteran, young and aspiring black journalists, while providing continued professional development and training.Our goals include increasing the number of black journalists in management positions and encouraging black journalists to become entrepreneurs. We work to foster an exemplary group of professionals that honors excellence and outstanding achievements by African American journalists, and outstanding achievement in the media industry as a whole, particularly when it comes to providing balanced coverage of the black community and society at large. We work with high schools and colleges to identify and encourage black students to become journalists and to diversify faculties and related curriculum.
