Military Veterans in Journalism, also known as MVJ, is a professional association that creates community for veterans and military spouses in the news field, supports their career growth, and advocates for increasing newsroom diversity through hiring more vets.

Veterans bring perspective, professional experience, and diversity of thought that benefits newsrooms and news consumers. Our annual convention in October brings together veterans, military spouses, and newsroom professionals for three days of networking and shared growth.
