The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ), which has paved the way for many Black newspaper and broadcast journalists such as the Bay Area's late Chauncey Bailey, Dennis Richmond, Faith Fancher, and living media veterans like Belva Davis, Pam Moore, Bob Butler, Carolyn Tyler, Carla Thomas, and Lee Hubbard, is celebrating its 50th Anniversary by telling its own story. On Saturday, June 21 at 11 a.m., the West Coast Premiere of the documentary "Beyond the Headlines" will screen at the African American Art and Culture Complex (762 Fulton Street, San Francisco, CA 94115) as part of the San Francisco Black Film Festival, founded by the late Ave Montague and now led by her granddaughter, Cree Ray. Coming on the heels of the announcement that broadcast veteran Pam Moore will be inducted into the 2025 NABJ Hall of Fame this August, the screening will be followed by a panel discussion introduced by veteran broadcaster Pam Moore, featuring:
The panel will be moderated by Sarah Allen, Executive Producer of the Emmy-nominated film Stand, veteran NABJ member, and past BABJA officer. As the Commonwealth Club recently welcomed national journalists such as Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson (Original Sin), and Jonathan Capehart (Yet Here I Am), the Bay Area remains a fertile ground for vital, media-led dialogue. Notably, NABJ founding member Allison Davis is cited in Capehart's memoir for mentoring him early in his career. NABJ, for five decades, has championed the inclusion of Black voices in the newsroom and beyond. "At a time when journalists from all walks are under intense scrutiny, organizations like NABJ have shown great resolve and resiliency," "Beyond the Headlines" is directed by James Franklin Blue III, whose 30-year career in television storytelling has garnered three Peabody Awards, three DuPont Awards, two Overseas Press Club Awards, and 10 national news Emmys. He currently co-owns Storyboard Studios, a New York-based production company, and produces for BBC, Frontline, PBS NewsHour, and Jay-Z's Roc Nation. 🎬 Watch the trailer for "Beyond the Headlines: The NABJ Journey": https://www.youtube.com/ 🎟️ Get tickets for the screening at the San Francisco Black Film Festival: https://tinyurl.com/ Other Media-Related Films at SFBFF 2025 This year's San Francisco Black Film Festival also includes two additional films with media related ties from SFBFF alum James Farr:
