Why AMEJA

For us, by us — and built to grow

For decades, coverage of our communities was too often done to us, not with us. AMEJA flips that script. We mentor each other, advocate with clarity, and move careers forward. When our people thrive in newsrooms, the stories get sharper, fairer, and more human. That’s the point.

Join a network where editors, reporters, and producers trade real help — intros, source lists, read-throughs, job leads, tough-love edits — and push the industry to do better. This is where community turns into influence.
