A church service on Sunday, November 27 at the Hope Fellowship Church, 23 Molynes Road, St Andrew will kick start a series of activities to mark the 2011 National Journalism Week.
Under the theme ‘Justice, truth be ours forever: Journalism in a changing world’ the Press Association of Jamaica (PAJ) will focus on the unrelenting quest for truth by journalists and the need for transparency in building a strong and vibrant Jamaican democracy.

This group includes the late Professor Aggrey Brown, Ms. Leonie Forbes, Ms. Erica Allen, Mrs. Alma Mock Yen and Dr. Canute James.

The National Journalism Awards banquet will be held on Friday December 2 at the Jamaica Pegasus where Jamaica’s Journalist of the Year 2011 will be named.
