Washington Association of Black Journalists (WABJ) is an organization for Black journalists, journalism professors, public relations professionals and student journalists in the Washington, D.C., metro area.
Since 1986, WABJ has been teaching D.C. area high school students journalism fundamentals through interactive lectures, hands-on training, and field trips each spring.
Professional journalists and educators provide mentorship and supervision to program participants. At the end of the program, students report and produce their own multimedia stories. We welcome all high students who appreciate our mission to apply, regardless of their identity or background.
The Washington Association of Black Journalists (WABJ) has just been named 2023 Professional Chapter of the Year by the National Association of Black Journalists. The announcement was made during the opening ceremony of the NABJ Convention & Career Fair in Birmingham on Wednesday evening.
