Founded in 1999, NAAJA is a network of professional journalists of Arab American heritage working in the mainstream American news media and Arab American ethnic media. We are proud to include several networking chapters in the United States and also NAAJA-Palestine, the local Chapter for Palestinian Journalists.
We do not engage in political debate and we adhere to the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics. We also network with many other Arab American journalism organizations and professionals. Take the first steps to strengthen your Arab American professional journalism voice by:

What you will find on the NAAJA Web Site: We have added the Arab Journalists MEDIA WATCH committee which will monitor mainstream media for racist and stereotypical references to Arab Americans or the Middle East that go beyond the boundaries of fair commentary and discussion. We invite members and anyone to report any potential transgressions. The Media Watch committee will review them and may or may not send a letter to the Managing Editor of the newspaper or Editorial Director at the TV or Radio Station to ask for their response and explain our concerns. We monitor the responses and will post them on the Media Watch page for updates. Some media are permanent repeat violators of Arab American stereotypes, such as the New York Post and the New York Sun, newspapers that engage in the promotion of anti-Arab hatred. We do not object to criticism and we do not ask the mainstream media to be pro-Arab. We do demand that they keep the discussion within professional boundaries. Other Media Watch repeat offenders include Glenn Beck, Michelle Malkin and Daniel Pipes. Finally, we have linked to a national events page where you can find information about Arab American community events, and other event calendars from across the nation. We include our NAAJA events on that page for review. We wan tto hear from all our members and any Arab American journalist. Our goal is to network everyone together to improve professionalism through communications, which is our profession.
