Extract

The Commonwealth Journalists’ Association (CJA) was established at a meeting of Commonwealth journalists held in Toronto, alongside the Commonwealth Press Union conference, on the 16th September 1978, following earlier discussions at a conference of Commonwealth NGOs at Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia, Canada in 1976. The organisation adopted its constitution at the first general meeting in Nicosia, Cyprus, April 1983, with the stated purpose: “To foster and promote better understanding and closer collaboration between the journalists of the Commonwealth; to further the interests of Commonwealth journalists in all aspects of their work; and, though the media, to enhance understanding and goodwill amongst the peoples of the Commonwealth”.
