It’s been a few weeks since , but the memories will last a lifetime. From AAJA president Nicole Dungca: “We were so proud to see nearly 1,400 journalists gather from across the globe to celebrate our AAJA family, learn new skills and build relationships across the industry. At a time that journalism and democracy are increasingly under attack, AAJA’s mission of uplifting AANHPI journalists and the stories from our communities has never been more important. This year’s national convention was a reminder that our community is already hard at work strengthening democracy and shaping the future of journalism with authentic, urgent and impactful storytelling.” Read our recap: https://www.aaja.org/2025/08/18/aaja25-in-seattle-cultivating-growth-and-reflecting-on-challenges-triumphs-for-our-communities/
