The San Antonio Association of Hispanic Journalists was established in October 1986. At the root of this dynamic organization is Hispanic journalists’ strong sense of pride in their professionalism and their cultural heritage. SAAHJ, through its unity and programs, has five specific objectives:
1. To organize and provide support for Hispanics involved in the gathering or dissemination of news.
2. To encourage and support the study and practice of journalism and communications by Hispanics.
3. To further and promote a fair treatment of Hispanics by the media.
4. To further the employment and career development of Hispanics in the media.
5. To foster a greater understanding of the cultural identity, interests and concerns shared by Hispanic media professionals.
