About us
The Society of Professional Journalists is dedicated to the perpetuation of a free press as the cornerstone of our nation and our liberty.

It is the role of journalists to provide this information in an accurate, comprehensive, timely and understandable manner. It is the mission of the Society of Professional Journalists: — To promote this flow of information. — To maintain constant vigilance in protection of the First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech and of the press. — To stimulate high standards and ethical behavior in the practice of journalism. — To foster excellence among journalists. — To inspire successive generations of talented individuals to become dedicated journalists. — To encourage diversity in journalism. — To be the pre-eminent, broad-based membership organization for journalists. — To encourage a climate in which journalism can be practiced freely.

“I think we’re doing the right things for the right reasons. We’re not doing it to sell products. We’re not doing it to be popular. We’re doing it because in our judgment these stories are important to do, and at this length and this much depth.” — Bob Edwards #FreePressFriday https://bit.ly/3sT8bSr

"Some of the old tentpoles of campaign coverage have regained salience in recent weeks. While reporters who spoke with The Post in the spring doubted the significance of this year’s party conventions, that changed when Trump was shot just two days before the Republican National Convention began. Instead of covering a party snoozefest, reporters were on hand to chronicle Trump’s triumphant reemergence." https://lnkd.in/gFYGu9kT

“When people don't want to recognise the actual reason for doing something, they come up with this kind of wrangled argument to try to explain it, I don't think this argument actually works. It would work for most other things, but not for press freedom because the Journal’s staff and its content benefit directly from this basic right. So it’s really hard to argue that you can write about press freedom without any type of conflict because the news operation itself has been a beneficiary of this right,” said Selina Cheng on her firing. https://lnkd.in/gYwmhPX4

"Northwestern’s Medill School of Journalism, Media, Integrated Marketing Communications Dean Charles Whitaker supports the student body in numerous ways, including when the school year is out. Whitaker has officially been dean of the journalism school for five years as of this month, and for most of that time he has made DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) a big focus of his tenure, pushing for Medill to fund travels of nearly 100 students each year to affinity-centered journalism conventions." https://lnkd.in/g7iCRDig
