WHAT
WE DO:
The CAJ promotes excellence in journalism, encouraging investigative
journalism. We
serve as the national voice of Canadian journalists, and we uphold the
public’s right to know.
GOALS:
Build
on the professional development foundation
laid by 30 years of national conferences, awards, and
writers’ symposia. Provide members with
network, advocacy and information
services. Foster grass roots growth by
encouraging regional and
chapter activity. Offer insight into the world of
journalism and tools of
the trade through "Media Magazine," our quarterly publication.
Partner with other journalism, advocacy or professional
development organizations who share similar goals and beliefs.
The
Canadian Association of Journalists
is a national non-profit public interest advocacy and
professional development organization serving Canadian journalists from
all media, including print, broadcast and online. It is the
only group of its kind in Canada. Founded in 1978, and counting more

country, the CAJ is run by a volunteer board of professional
journalists.
