Austin NAHJ’s HistoryAt a NAHJ training conference, three area journalists
realized there was no official NAHJ chapter in Austin, a
surprising realization considering how creative and strong
the journalism industry in this city is. At that time, Isadora
Vail (Statesman), Crystal Chavez and Angela Maldonado(KUT) committed to establishing a new Austin chapter.
Since 2009, Austin NAHJ has hosted a video training
conference, mentored UT student journalists, and has
offered various social networking events and chances to
practice our Spanish! We hope to grow the chapter with
the intention of creating a group that offers more training
opportunities and times to socialize/trade stories.
Although we want to see more Hispanic journalists in
Austin area newsrooms, Austin NAHJ is open to allethnicities. We believe in diversity and alliances.
