The following information was copied from the CCNMA website (https://www.ccnma.org/about) on July 17, 2023.

CCNMA: Latino Journalists of California is a non-profit, professional organization that aims to promote diversity in the news media by providing encouragement, scholarships and educational programs for Latinos pursuing careers in journalism. The organization's mission is to foster an accurate and fair portrayal of Latinos in the news, and to promote the social, economic and professional advancement of Latino journalists.

CCNMA was founded in 1972 in Los Angeles, and it is the oldest regional organization of journalists of color in the country. The association first offered scholarships in 1976 to Latino journalism students, and in 1978 held its first job fair. In 1979 an executive office was established at the University of Southern California's Annenberg School for Communication. In 2012 CCNMA relocated to Santa Monica, Ca. where we are now housed by the ASU Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication. CCNMA is widely respected within the industry for its educational and professional programs, which have helped increase the number of journalists of color in the news media. This includes sponsoring workshops, a scholarship program which has awarded more than $800,000 to more than 800 students, and staging the largest job fair on the West Coast for journalists of color.

Processing Information

The CCNMA: Latino Journalists of California records are minimally processed with box-level descriptive records.

Most of the boxes in this collection came to USC with brief labels handwritten on the outside of each box. During accessioning and re-boxing, the archivist re-used the previous box labels as the titles of this finding aid's box-level descriptive records. Boxes that came to USC without labels have record titles enclosed in brackets.
