Kendal Moore-Website Diversity

The National Association of Black Journalists ,found at http://www.nabj.org, is a web site about black journalists and their involvement with the mass media. It includes information about job opportunities, meetings, and competitions. The site offers many resources such as a calendar of events, information on the association, and stories in the newsroom. It is also possible for students to receive NABJ internships, scholarships. student projects, and mentoring through this association. This is an awesome resource for not only black journalists but journalists off all ethnicities. It is an important tool in journalism that writers are aware of cultures other than their own.

Knowing the current events and lifestyle of other ethnicities can create diversity in writing as well as the potential to attract tons of readers from different cultural backgrounds. Websites like NABJ.org can be a great way for journalists to long on and check our current events or do some research on that particular race. As for black journalists, this can be a homepage for opportunities and information to better their writing skills.

The National Association of Black Journalist web site also contains elements on other forms of mass media which is also attractable from other careers such as publicity, advertising, news reports, and photography.
