SAJA STATEMENT ON STUDENT JOURNALISTS COVERING CAMPUS PROTESTS IN THE U.S.
May 8, 2024

SAJA, the South Asian Journalists Association, would like to express its support and admiration for the tireless efforts of student journalists covering the recent and ongoing protests on campuses around the U.S. 

As places to learn, grow, and produce high quality work, student-led news outlets are a crucial part of the journalism ecosystem. And, as police and government agencies are called onto campuses, these newsrooms and journalists are also on the frontlines of press freedom. 

We encourage all student journalists to keep up the good work and we will continue to support your efforts.
