A joint conference and member program between the National Association of Black Journalists and the National Newspaper Publishers Association may be in the works for the future. The conversation is just the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had great conversations with [NNPA President Dr.] Benjamin Chavis over the past year on how NABJ and NNPA can further partner and work collaboratively,\u201d NABJ President Sarah Glover said. \u201cHe brought up the idea of a joint membership. I think any great partnership starts with great ideas, so I certainly hope NABJ and NNPA can explore a joint membership or joint programming.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Glover attended NNPA\u2019s conference in Norfolk, Virginia, a few weeks ago. The NABJ Board of Directors will decide if a partnership is in NABJ\u2019s future. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is just an idea at this point. It\u2019s an idea stage,\u201d Glover said. \u201cOther organizations have asked to partner with us. The board has to have that internal conversation first.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Both NABJ and NNPA hope the partnership will create more advocacy, programming and possibly a convention. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s important to support each other,\u201d Glover said, \u201cnot just in media, but also in the black community.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Benjamin F. Chavis Jr., the president and CEO of NNPA, is optimistic about the partnership. According to him, the timing is right.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTiming is everything, and it\u2019s time to join forces. There is a convergence of mutual interest,\u201d said Chavis. \u201cI\u2019m very pleased with the dialogue that has been going on for the last year. Not only do we need to work together, but also strategize and advocate for the black Press.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf a partnership is implemented, the joint membership will create more opportunities for black journalists,\u201d Chavis said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to contribute to the empowerment of our communities we serve\u2014the African-American community\u2014economic empowerment, political empowerment and social empowerment,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
