Canadian Association of Journalists

The Canadian Association of Journalists is an independent, not-for-profit organization dedicated to advocacy and professional development for journalists across Canada. Founded in 1978, the CAJ promotes excellence in journalism and encourages investigative journalism.
The organization was previously known as the Centre for Investigative Journalism.
The CAJ represents journalism across all media and holds a journalism awards ceremony at its annual meeting. The association published the magazine Content. It has several sub-groups for specialized members, including caucuses for legal affairs reporters, educators, and photo-journalists.
The CAJ published its first diversity study in 2021, based on voluntary survey data, which found that almost half of participating newsrooms were exclusively employing white journalists.
