The National Association of Hispanic Journalists has been celebrating its 40th year.

The celebration is part of NAHJ’s conference, which has included panels, discussions and, as we might say in Spanish, pachangas.

Much has been said by the country’s largest organization for Latino and Hispanic journalists about what it has done for those populations. Here’s what some NAHJ members told the Latino Reporter.

Jacob Anthony Amaro is a reporter at NJ.com for Mosaic, where he writes stories about and for New Jersey’s diverse communities. He earned his bachelor’s in journalism from Rutgers-Newark and will continue his studies at Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism in the fall. His goal, no matter what the future holds, is to write stories that inform and empower his readers. He may be reached via email at jamaro2001 [at] gmail [dot] com and on LinkedIn.
