The Commonwealth Journalists Association (CJA)

The Commonwealth Journalists Association is a professional association for working journalists throughout the Commonwealth. Journalists in Commonwealth countries have much in common but their circumstances vary. In many countries the media lacks resources, comes under pressure from government and commercial interests - and under threats from criminals and even terrorists. Access to high quality training is difficult in many Commonwealth countries and in most there may be no machinery for working journalists to get together and discuss their common problems, the changes to their profession and the new threats from security efforts and manipulation, particularly in developed countries of the Commonwealth.

The CJA exists to remedy this situation, to bring journalists closer together whether they are working in print, broadcasting, or on-line journalism, and to help raise their status and quality. The CJA has branches in some Commonwealth countries, and members in all.
