Benavides, Glover at SXSW

The NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACK JOURNALISTS (NABJ) and the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HISPANIC JOURNALISTS (NAHJ) will reunite for a joint convention in 2020.  The NABJ and NAHJ held a joint event in 2016 in WASHINGTON.

NABJ President SARAH GLOVER said, "NABJ is looking forward to hosting another joint convention with NAHJ. Both groups executed a memorable convention experience for our members and the journalism industry last year. We have a lot of momentum to build off of as we head into 2020.  It only makes sense to bring black and Hispanic journalists together as we move toward what is shaping up to be a history-making election in 2020."

NAHJ President BRANDON BENAVIDES said, "Over the next couple of years as we're moving toward returning to a joint convention with NABJ, we'll be recognizing the priorities in our programming, special events and all elements of a conference that our members value most.  It is critical that as the two-largest journalism associations of color, we not only make an investment into our student journalists, but also provide the best resources to develop talent and make it our mission to create more leadership training opportunities for all of our journalists."
