Hispanic Journalists Brace for Change

“The National Association of Hispanic Journalists NAHJ will gather to mark its 25th anniversary June 13-16 in San Jose, Calif. The organization, which grew out of the California Chicano News Media Association, held its first National Hispanic Media Professionals conference in 1982 in San Diego.

NAHJ 2007 will convene in the midst of great flux in the industry, with the demise of Knight Ridder and other media consolidations and buyouts. “We believe there will be a fair number of people looking for jobs,” said NAHJ executive director Ivan Roman. “There will also be people with jobs who are trying to figure out how they need to reinvent themselves as journalists, given all the changes in the industry.”"
