Mission
The Trans Journalists Association is a professional membership organization with a mission to promote more accurate, nuanced coverage of trans issues and communities in the media. We also provide resources, support, and events to aid gender-expansive journalists in their workplaces and careers. Working with newsrooms, affinity groups, and journalism-supporting organizations, we create discussion about best practices for covering trans people in all contexts. We also maintain a style guide aiming to address common and complex questions that arise when reporting on our communities. We welcome the membership of gender-expansive journalists of all self-descriptions and backgrounds, as well as allies interested in our work.
