The organization raises awareness by conducting and attending conventions that help improve Hispanic journalism. It also offers scholarships to Hispanic journalism students. Chapters are dispersed throughout the United States to increase involvement and networking within NAHJ.
The money raised for student journalism scholarships comes from donations, advertising and sponsorship. NAHJ acts as a middle man that connects the public with Hispanic and Latino journalism of any subject. NAHJ strives to change the way the public views Hispanic culture by emphasizing the influence Hispanic journalism has on media outlets like TV news coverage and newspapers.
Hispanic journalism is supported by NAHJ through recognition of news stories that have something to do with the Hispanic culture. These stories are taken and given a new twist. Instead of broadening the group of people the story can relate to, the stories' main focus is on the portion that has to do with a person of Hispanic background or a topic that relates to Hispanic subjects. NAHJ also involves itself in events that relate to, advocate or support Hispanic culture around the world.
NAHJ praises individuals who's efforts have resulted in an improvement of Latino representation nationally. This association finds ways to relate to Hispanic journalists of any nationality, branch and age by advocating lifetime involvement within NAHJ.
