PABJ History

PABJ was founded in 1973 by a group of courageous Philadelphia journalists. NABJ was founded in 1975, and thus PABJ is NABJ's founding chapter. PABJ president Chuck Stone became NABJ's first president. A comprehensive PABJ history will be available in the future.

PABJ held a 30th Anniversary reception on November 19, 2003. Some materials from the event are below.
