The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) was founded to support Asian American and Pacific Islander journalists in an industry where they were underrepresented. The organization offers scholarships, stipends, workshops, and networking opportunities to both working journalists and students. AAJA also advocates for fairness and accuracy in media representation of AAPI communities, working to address gaps in coverage. With chapters across the U.S. and in Asia, AAJA remains a vital resource for connecting journalists and fostering career growth.
