About the Project

What is the Parity Project

The Parity Project involves NAHJ’s work with selected English-language news organizations that serve large Latino communities, but that do not have a representative percentage of Latino journalists in their newsrooms.

Through the Parity Project, NAHJ helps these organizations to accomplish two main goals: 1) to find and hire more journalists who happen to be Latino for their newsroom job openings. And 2) establish even stronger ties than they might already have with Latino leaders and groups in their areas that can offer ongoing guidance when it comes to coverage of Hispanics.

NAHJ’s partnership with these newsrooms through the Parity Project is a commitment of at least five years with each.
