Welcome to SFBJA on the Web!

The South Florida Black Journalists Association serves the unique diaspora in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. While our region is known worldwide for its fun and sun, the chapter has, for three decades, united a community of journalists who share the goals of media diversity, fairness and professional excellence.

Our purpose is being fulfilled through our activities:

• Rochelle Bridges Memorial Scholarship program for promising high school seniors.An endowed scholarship at Florida International University.A toy drive through the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center in Hollywood.

• Media workshops to educate the community about the most effective ways to get their messages in the media.

Our members also assist with the University of Miami High School journalism workshop and the Florida Memorial College career day.

Through SFBJA we seek to maximize the benefits of our common association, facilitate our professional career growth, acknowledge the exceptional talents of our members and maintain the highest standards of exellence in our profession.

Our meetings are held on the third Saturday of every month at 11 a.m. Meetings are held inside the first floor conference room at Miami Dade College's North Campus, Building 9, 11380 NW 27th , Miami, FL 33167.

We look forward to seeing you soon.
