Dear NAHJ Partner:
In 2015, NAHJ will host various programming and special events during
the Excellence in Journalism conference, September 18 - 20, in Orlando,
Florida and during four regional conferences throughout the year. The
regional conferences will be held in New York City, (March 28), Los
Angeles, (June 6), Austin, TX, (July 25), and Mexico City (October 17).
NAHJ is offering its corporate partners a myriad of educational, networking
and marketing opportunities to reach an influential audience. In return for your participation, NAHJ will
acknowledge your organization through valuable recognition packages including the program books
and pre-event marketing materials.
This year we have two goals in mind; first we plan to satisfy more than 1,500 journalists who will attend
our conferences and participate in extensive skills-building sessions and foster opportunities that enable
them to grow professionally. Our second goal is to provide our partners with the best possible avenue to
network and enhance the career opportunities of a growing Latino journalism community.
Enclosed are just some of the many ways you can partner with NAHJ in its important mission, through
its programming and activities. For more information on any of the sponsorship opportunities
offered this year, please contact me at [email protected].

N AH J MISSIO N
The National Association of Hispanic Journalists
(NAHJ) is dedicated to the recognition and
professional advancement of Hispanics in the news
industry. Established in April 1984, NAHJ created
a national voice and unified vision for all Hispanic
journalists.
NAHJ is governed by an 18-member board of directors
that consists of executive officers and regional directors
who represent geographic areas of the United States
and the Caribbean. The national office is located in
Washington, D.C.
NAHJ has approximately 1,500 members, including
working journalists, journalism students, other
media-related professionals and journalism
educators.
N AH J ’ s G OALS
1. To organized and provide support for Hispanic
journalists.
2. To encourage and support the study and practices
of journalism and communications by Hispanics.
3. To promote accurate and fair treatment of
Hispanics by the news media.
4. To further employment opportunities and career
development for Hispanics in the news media.
5. To foster greater understanding of the unique
cultural identity, interests and concerns of
Hispanic journalists.
N AH J HIS TORY
The beginnings of the National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) can be traced
back to a 1982 convention in San Diego. Organized by the California Chicano News
Media Association (CCNMA) and a few journalists from the rest of the country, the
convention attracted 300 participants. Hispanic journalists throughout the United States
had already started an informal professional network, meeting at seminars sponsored by
other industry groups, such as the American Society of Newspapers Editors. The need for
a formal national organization grouping all Latino journalists had reached full maturity by
the 1982 San Diego convention.
At the time, the largest organization of its type was the Los Angeles-based CCNMA.
Following the San Diego conference, CCNMA decided to take the leading role in building
the national group. The California association lent its executive director support and
resources to the emerging NAHJ. After obtaining 50,000 in seed money from the Freedom
Forum (then the Gannett Foundation), an organizing committee was formed. It included
15 men and women representing the Mexican-American, Cuban and Puerto Rican
communities, the three largest Hispanic sub-groups in the United States.
Displaying extraordinary energy and resolve, the organizing committee held meetings in
Miami, Denver, Chicago and New York, in order to promote the national group concept
and work out the details of the organization. After two years of arduous work, the
articles of incorporation for NAHJ were finally signed in February of 1984.
At first, NAHJ operated out of L A, but for three reasons, it became apparent that a
different venue was required. First, NAHJ needed to acquire a separate identity from
CNNMA. Second, California Latinos were and are majority Mexican-American, and that
did not accurately reflect the diversity of the Hispanic community. And finally, NAHJ had
to participate with other industry groups in common areas of interest. In 1985, NAHJ
established its headquarters in the National Press Building in Washington, D.C.
What originally started with 120 members burgeoned to 600 by the second year. Today,
there are more than 1,500 members nationwide.
Today, NAHJ is an organization with deep regional roots and a strong national presence.
An active network has been created linking Hispanic journalists regionally and across
the country. Programs and activities develop by the association are widely recognized as
groundbreaking and tremendously effective for our colleges. Most importantly, NAHJ is
still growing, both in memberships and activities. NAHJ policies and projects are geared to
foster the interest of Hispanics students in journalism.

Regional conferences fulfill many of NAHJ’s goals for its members. They provide
ongoing training between our national conferences and in locations around the
country for those members who cannot join us at the national event.
The regional conferences provide career development and networking
opportunities and access to recruiters and industry veterans who recruit and
provide valuable advice.
This is an opportunity for news organizations to both find candidates that can
help your news staff to reflect the changes that are occurring in regions around
the country and to receive training to better cover these communities.
