About UNITY 2004

A Powerful Alliance. A Force for Change.
The largest and most diverse gathering of journalists in the United States

It all began in Atlanta — UNITY '94
	The excitement was rekindled in Seattle — UNITY '99

The beat goes on ... in DC, with the largest regular gathering of journalists in the nation!

UNITY: Journalists of Color, Inc., which represents 7,000 media professionals of color, is a strategic, national alliance comprised of the Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA), National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ), and Native American Journalists Association (NAJA).

UNITY's goals are twofold: developing programs and institutional relationships that promote year-round journalism advocacy and education, with a focus on fairness and accuracy in news coverage as well as diversity in America¹s newsrooms, and planning the largest regular gathering of journalists in the nation (the UNITY 2004 Convention).

UNITY 2004 -- the third joint gathering of the UNITY Alliance Associations -- is the culmination of years of research and planning, and the most ambitious undertaking of its kind. Never in the history of the news industry has there been a larger networking, career-building and professional development event. This world-class event will feature plenary sessions on topical news issues, the largest "Career Expo" in the news industry, as well as numerous journalism workshops and panel discussions focusing on print, broadcast, photography and new media.

Thousands of journalists, journalism students, media and corporate representatives & executives, political & community leaders, and UNITY supporters from all parts of the country are expected to attend; and scores of participating recruiters / employers are only part of the allure.

The UNITY 2004 Convention will take place August 4 - 8 at the "new" Washington, DC Convention Center.
