JOURNALISM MATTERS

About CFABJ

The Central Florida Association of Black Journalists mission is to provide its members with opportunities for career growth.  For example, the chapter hosts and participates in educational sessions that are free to all members. CFABJ has hosted two national conventions and three regional National Association of Black Journalists conferences, which included sessions on ethics, good writing, and upward mobility in management. Journalists from six states in the southeast region attended.

At present, CFABJ supports student chapters at the University of Central Florida and Bethune-Cookman University. Through the years, it also has partnered with journalism programs at Bethune-Cookman University. The chapter provides mentoring, assistance with professional program fees, as well as regional and national conference registration for students.
