The National Lesbian and Gay Journalist Association was created to promote fair and accurate coverage of LGBT issues.

Founded in 1990, the NLGJA is against any type of workplace bias and provides professional development to its members. The NLGJA is widely recognized for its work "informing our peers in the fair and accurate coverage of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community by the news media."

This organization wants one thing, and that is equailty throughout the media. They will do almost anything to make sure that there are no bias or inaccurate news stories in America. The NLGJA provides its supporters with a Rapid Response Task Force, and if a media consumer finds a problematic media story, they can turn it in to this task force.

Once the Rapid Response Task Force receives a complaint, it will look into the story, and if necessary, contact the source for questioning.

This organization even keeps its followers up to date with a blog. The blog contains information about what media outlets are doing a good job of keeping their work fair and balanced, and which ones are not doing so well. The bloggers for this organizations job is to keep a close and watchful eye on what is happening in the media.

The NLGJA is taking a proactive step towards equality throughout the nation, and it is starting with the media. The media is one of the main places that "customs" and "norms" get brought about, and the NLGJA wants to make sure that there are no discriminatory "norms" being put out there.
