Launch a Chapter of your own
(Open to
any professional journalist of Middle East Heritage working full or part-time
for a mainstream American media or a Middle East ethnic American Media, or freelance.)
(We distinguish ourselves as professional journalists,
apart from activists and writers for organizations
who play an important ancillary role in defining truth. We
adhere to the ethics statement of
the Society of Professional Journalists)

The National Arab American Journalists Association is an independent association or professional journalists and organizations who seek to network across the United States representing professional journalists from the Arab World. We partner with the Asian American Journalists Association & the SPJ. Please go to their web pages at www.aaja.org or www.SPJ.org and complete the application process.
THINGS WE CAN DO TOGETHER:
- Network and recognize the global Arab, Muslim and Middle East journalist world, rather than working in "isolation" as individual groups constantly re-inventing the wheel.
- Avoid the pitfalls of traditional Arab, Muslim and Middle East tribal nature such as focusing on organization structure, who will be president, and dividing into rival groups arguing over issues that do not relate to our priorities.
- Share information about each other to fully recognize the potential of the broad world of Arab, Muslim and Middle Easr journalists in the United States.
- Focus on being professional.
- Organize regional and national conferences to bring our community together.
- Support our ethnic American news media of newspapers, radio stations and television stations.
- Provide community resources for the mainstream news media to replace the uninformed. As professional journalists, NAAJA members are better qualified to discuss community trends, events and issues.
- Establish a journalism contest to showcase the best of the best in Arab American journalism.
- Help freelance members find freelance work with the existing Arab American media. Those in mainstream media positions can help members identify job opportunities in the mainstream media.
By being professional journalists, we can help our community become more successul partners int he larger American society, and more importantly, help American society better understand through accuracy and firsthand information the Arab American, Muslim American and Middle East American community.
