The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ ) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit educational and professional organization of African-American journalists, students, and media professionals. Founded in 1975 in Washington, D.C. , by 44 journalists, the NABJ's stated purpose is to provide quality programs and services to and advocate on behalf of black journalists.[1] The organization has worked for diversity and to increase the number of minorities in newsrooms across the country.[2]
The association's national office is on the main campus of the University of Maryland, College Park . The current president is Ken Lemon, a reporter for WSOC in Charlotte, North Carolina and the executive director is Drew Berry. The NABJ states that it has a membership of 4,100 and is the largest organization of journalists of color in the United States.[1] The organization was one of the four minority journalist member associations in the UNITY: Journalists of Color, Inc. until they seceded from the organization in Spring 2011.
The organization's annual Salute to Excellence Awards honors coverage of African-American people and subjects. Awards given include Journalist of the Year, Emerging Journalist and Lifetime Achievement; past honorees have included Lester Holt , Ed Bradley , Carole Simpson , Byron Pitts , Charlayne Hunter-Gault , Bernard Shaw , Gwen Ifill , and Michele Norris . NABJ also maintains the NABJ Hall of Fame , which is designed to honor black journalists.
History
edit
The founding meeting of the National Association of Black Journalists was held on December 12, 1975, in Washington, D.C., at the Sheraton Park Hotel (now the Marriott Wardman Park). [3] The interim committee for a National Association of Black Journalists, The Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia, Chicago Association of Black Journalists, San Francisco Association of Black Journalists and the Washington Association of Black Journalists hosted the founding to create the National Association of Black Journalists based on the work of the Black Perspective, a 1967 group of journalists. [3] The National Association of Black Journalists saw fit its creation because at the time, there were associations of other professions including teachers, lawyers and doctors and believed journalists to be as important and other professions. A 1968 Kerner Commission Report mentioned how small a role black people held in a white media environment.[4] The National Association of Black Journalists was founded to increase the presence of black people in mainstream media and change the misrepresentation of black people.[4] The organization used the constitution of The Association of Black Journalists in Philadelphia.[4] Founded on Friday, December 12, 1975, the organization explicitly stated their excitement to cover the 1976 presidential campaigns.
