About Us

We are the D.C. Chapter of the Asian American Journalists Association, a national organization that has worked for more four decades on behalf of Asian American and Pacific Islanders for better representation in news media. Our chapter represents more than 250 journalists, community members and allies. Our professional members can be found in the halls of Congress and the White House press briefing room, holding powerbrokers accountable; in the c-suites of major news organizations; traveling the nation investigating abuses of power; in stadium press boxes and pounding the pavement in our local communities. We provide educational and networking opportunities for our members, in addition to mentoring and support for early career journalists and students.
