BLACK JOURNALISTS WILL FOREVER MATTER

Welcome to the Indianapolis Association of Black Journalists, a chapter extension of the National Association of Black Journalists. As an organization, we strive to empower Black media professionals by providing resources, networking opportunities, and advocacy for equitable representation in the media landscape.

Through our events, workshops, and community initiatives, we aim to elevate the standards of journalism while also nurturing the next generation of storytellers. Whether you're a seasoned journalist, a student aspiring to enter the field, or simply someone who values the power of media to effect positive change, we invite you to join us in our mission to shape a more inclusive and equitable media landscape.
