CNN gives $335,000 to NABJ for scholarship program

WASHINGTON, D.C.The National Association of Black Journalists announced that CNN will give $335,000 to the association as part of a joint effort to provide scholarships for future journalists of color, NABJ President Herbert Lowe said. "This is fantastic news," said Lowe, a reporter at Newsday in New York City. "We could not be more delighted to receive this money and to partner with CNN in our ongo-

ing effort to help future black journalists get the training and preparation they need in college. "For years, NABJ and its professional members nave supported and provided annual scholarships and internships to its student memoers, many of whom are among today's leading journalists. This commitment from a major media company, such as CNN, will certainly help our cause tremendously." CNN also announced today that, in conjunction with the cable news

network's 25th anniversary, it would give a total of $1 million to NABJ, the Asian American Journalists Association and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists. The money will be used to help each association create and fund a CNN25 Scholar Program and rigorous criteria for the scholarships would likely require demonstrated journalistic excellence and a commitment to community involvement. ''CNN prides itself as

the leader in providing the news of the world to the world anytime, anywhere," CNN President Jim Walton said. "We hope that by creating a scholarship program with these three leading journalism organizations, we can ensure that future journalists come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences and that newsrooms reflect the world." As part of the total $335,000 grant to NABJ, $10,000 will be used to support its 30th Anniversary Convention

and Career Fair, set for Aug. 3 to 7 in Atlanta,Ga., Lowe said. Another $10,000 will be given to the Atlanta Association of Black Journalists, an NABJ affiliate chapter, and $15,000 will be used to help promote and administer the scholar program, he said.
