The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) is a nonprofit educational and professional organization focused on supporting Asian American and Pacific Islander journalists in the United States and Asia. It counts more than 1,700 members and operates as a forum for professional development, industry guidance, and advocacy within journalism. Its mission encompasses building networks and leadership opportunities for AAPI journalists, assisting students through scholarships and mentorship, increasing fair access to news for the AAPI community, and researching coverage to identify inaccuracies or bias about AAPI issues. Based in Washington, DC, AAJA offers educational programs, skills training, and professional development for student and professional members, along with guidance on reporting AAPI issues and resources for communities engaging with the media. A notable recent development is the 2024 launch of the Simon and June Li Leadership Transformation Fellowship, which supports leadership growth for AAPI journalists.
