Welcome to the official website of AAJA-NC!
We are a group of Asian-American journalists in North Carolina who decided to form a local chapter in 2005. Currently, we have members who work for various media outlets throughout the state, mostly in areas around the Triangle and in Charlotte.
We endeavor to help professional journalists and students further their careers and excel in their fields. We also hope to be a bridge between the growing Asian community and the news media in North Carolina.
This site includes information about our activities, plans and achievements. Please check back often for updates.

Welcome to AAJA-NC's newest members:

Mukherjee has been at the helm of TBJ for the past 11 years. Before that, Mukherjee was the Washington Bureau Chief for American City Business Journals, TBJ's parent company which owns 40 business journals across the country.

Thank you AAJA-NC supporters
Our Founders' Fund continues to build, with the latest gift of support coming from Triangle Business Journal Editor SOUGATA MUKHERJEE, who gave a personal donation to the chapter.
Sougata was one of the many who originally supported the chapter when it formed in 2005 and wanted to help again now that the group has grown to the point where it wants to offer more student programs and professional member training.
The chapter would like to thank two other recent donors for their support of AAJA-NC’s efforts:

Chapter discusses AAJA issues with National President Doris Truong
As part of her pledge to visit every AAJA chapter during her time as the national group's president, Doris Truong visited North Carolina in early July.
Over lunch, we shared ideas for member programs, training and fundraising. Doris and chapter board members also met during her trip and went over development strategies.
It was great having Doris with us, and we can only hope the fried green tomatoes were up to par!
