Pittsburgh Black Media Federation - PBMF

Pittsburgh Black Media Federation - PBMF The Pittsburgh Black Media Federation is an organization of journalists, public relations professionals and students studying journalism or related fields.

The Pittsburgh Black Media Federation, which is an organization of journalists, communications specialists and students, supports black journalists, hosts programs that recognize excellent media coverage of minority communities and trains young people to enter the media industry. Founded in 1973, PBMF was developed to advocate for African-Americans in the media in two ways. It seeks fair represent

ation of the African-American community in the news and an increased presence of minorities in newsrooms. PBMF also was designed to create a social network for black media professionals in Pittsburgh and surrounding areas. In the early 1990s, PBMF became an affiliate of the National Association of Black Journalists. PBMF welcomes members from all ethnic backgrounds.
