MVJ25 will be a two-part event, featuring one day of educational conversation and the annual Top Ten Veterans in Journalism Awards ceremony and a virtual career fair of top newsrooms and journalism schools one month later.

We welcome veterans, military spouses, newsroom professionals, and supporters of diversity in the industry to join us for networking and shared growth.

This year’s in-person programming will take place at NAHJ2025 in Chicago, IL. The MVJ25 Virtual Career Fair will take place in August 2025.

Past MVJ Conventions

MVJ has held an annual community gathering since 2021, offering our community the chance to come together and discuss the issues that matter most to them while learning new skills and connecting with the broader journalism industry. Each convention has been accompanied by a career fair of employers seeking to have veteran and military spouse voices in their newsrooms.
