Mission

The Canadian Association of Black Journalists (CABJ) was founded in 1996 with a mission to increase representation through education and inspiration. We believe Black journalists must work together in an effort to diversify newsrooms, to increase the number of Black media professionals in management positions in Canada and to educate and inspire a new generation of young Black journalists.

As the CABJ works towards extending its reach across Canada, we are focused on:

• Advocating for diversity in Canadian media

• Increasing CABJ’s membership base across Canada

• Raising up a new generation of Black journalists and content creators

• Offering hands-on workshops and other diverse professional development opportunities to Black journalists and content creators
