The mission of DePaul University Association of Black Journalists (DUABJ) is to equip African American journalists and communications majors with professional career skills. At DUABJ our members connect and create meaningful relationships with journalism students, media-related students and working professionals.
Our goal is to motivate African American journalists and communicators to pursue a career in the various fields of journalism and media production. We advocate for diverse newsrooms, production companies and diverse stories, with African Americans and other people of color in executive, management, production and reporting positions across all forms of media.
We host events that not only educate us as journalists but also enlighten us on what it's like to work in the industry as a person of color. Our events include resume building and headshot workshops, networking and social events, and a racial bias in the media discussion with NABJ Chicago.
Membership in the DUABJ is open to DePaul students in good academic standing who are seeking the following degrees:
- Communication
- Journalism
- English
- Radio, Television & Film
