The Society of Professional Journalists is a small information services organization based in the United States. It is a broad-based professional association for journalists, dedicated to encouraging the free practice of journalism and upholding high ethical standards. Founded in 1909 as Sigma Delta Chi, it promotes the free flow of information vital to an informed citizenry and seeks to defend First Amendment guarantees of speech and press. Its activities serve journalists and the broader journalism community through ethics guidance, education, and recognition of quality work, including collaborations with regional groups such as the New England First Amendment Coalition. Recent developments include efforts to establish AI-related ethics guidance and guidelines and participation in industry awards and contests.
