About Us: 

The National Association of Black Journalists (Unity Chapter) is an affiliate chapter of the national NABJ organization. All students are welcome in NABJ, and we also serve as a hub to connect students with the National Association of Hispanic Journalists, Asian American Journalists Association, and other professional journalism organizations. Students produce NURU, a print publication several times per year, and The Pulse, a bimonthly talk show.
