30 Moments of the Past 30 Years

As part of its 30th anniversary celebration, NABJ is presenting the best and worst moments in black journalism in the past 30 years. 30 Moments in Journalism is an extraordinary and lasting collection of the most significant efforts involving black journalists between 1975 and 2005. Review the top 30 for yourself, check out the other nominees and, if we missed something, let us know what you think here.
