The Pioneer Black Journalist Awards program was implemented nearly 30 years ago by the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists to recognize the most creative, innovative and brightest professionals in the African American journalism community.
The awards program honors those professionals in print, television, radio and public relations that have honed their journalistic skills into riveting, interesting and compelling stories. Representatives from every major media outlet and discipline in Atlanta attend the event, which awards $10,000 in scholarships to deserving journalism students. Proceeds benefit the Xernona Clayton Scholarship Fund.
The 2007 AABJ Awards Ceremony Jazz Brunch will be held October 6, 2007 at 11:00am at the Georgia Depot. Tickets are $40.00 for Members and $50.00 for Non-Members. Please reserve your tickets by calling the AABJ Hotline at 770-593-5837. Be sure to specify the number of tickets you need in your request and leave your contact information. This is a ticketless system-please check in at the registration table, the day of the event.
