NABJ Disturbed by Unconscious Bias Displayed in Buffalo Shooting Coverage
Washington, DC | 2 months ago
The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) denounces the senseless acts of gun violence and racially motivated terrorism that occurred in Buffalo, New York, on May 14. We extend our prayers and thoughts to the families who have lost their loved ones, those who have suffered injuries, and to the journalists covering this traumatic incident. We especially extend our arms to the Black journalists who once again must report on a story of horrific racial violence while grasping the fact that it could have easily been them or a loved one who lost their lives that day. We encourage news managers to ensure the proper resources are in place to help Black journalists cope with such trauma and encourage our members reporting this story to take care of their mental health. Speak up and seek help if the stories you are assigned to are affecting your well-being.

The call for change stems from an April 12 report from Harvard's Nieman Lab that revealed only 303 print and online news organizations out of 2,500 participated in the News Leaders Association (NLA) annual diversity survey.

One Woman’s Mission to Educate Black Women About Genetic Testing for Breast Cancer
Washington, DC | 8 months ago
In 2008, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Fortunately, the disease was discovered in the early stages. She worked in the postal service, so she benefited from quality healthcare and time away from work for treatment and recovery. Since her diagnosis, I learned that four other women in my family were diagnosed and treated for breast cancer.

Washington, DC | 10 months ago
I did not lose a loved one or a dear friend on 9/11. But like many others, I still recall very clearly what I was doing that fateful and tragic day. I was driving down Broad Street to work in the Newsroom at The Philadelphia Inquirer which was located at Broad and Vine when the radio station interrupted the music for a story about a plane crashing into one of the Twin Towers in New York City. And a few minutes later, there was another one.
