The World's Only Citizen Journalist Training and Credentialing Association!

Citizen journalism are the two hottest buzzwords in the news industry today. The idea that legitimate news can be delivered by average people is sweeping the globe. John and Jane Doe journalists are writing, producing and disseminating news from tiny villages in India, as well as the sizable newsrooms of major broadcast networks in New York City.

One US website reports having more than 12,000 citizen journalists scouring the landscape for news. A South Korean website declares it has 50,000 registered citizen journalists keeping watch over news events throughout the country. Millions of other citizen-produced blogs and websites provide news of the people, by the people and for the people.

Now citizen journalists have an association where they can receive university-level training that leads to credentialing, network with other citizen journalists and be recognized for their work with significant honors.

NACJ membership and training empowers citizen journalists for the exciting task of discovering, writing and reporting news with a level of professionalism that was once the standard in major media outlets.
