We welcome next-generation (as well as established) writers, photographers, broadcasters, videographers, and webcasters, and ask for ideas and input on how the JJA can better serve our mission to promote jazz and jazz journalism. We especially welcome all journalists who traditionally have been underrepresented in the field due to issues of gender, race, geography, and sexual orientation.
