Thank you for joining the Journalism Education Association.

Current or recently lapsed members: Sept. 11, JEA launched a new membership system. Before members will be able to access members-only content at JEA.org, including updating your membership information and registering for NSMC, you will need to activate your new membership account — which includes a username, new password and new member ID. All members were sent an email with a unique link to activate your account. Current or recently lapsed members who have not received the email with account activation instructions should contact staff@jea.org for assistance. Please do not complete this application and join JEA again.

If your School/Business does not appear in the list, please complete this New School/Business Form so we can verify the contact information and add it to the list. This may take up to two business days. You may continue with the membership application without listing a School/Business.

If you are wanting to pay by PO or check, your membership will not become active until payment is made.

This application for is for individual members. If you are representing a public or private library; regional, state or national press association; department of journalism in community college or university whether public, private or parochial; commercial press association, book, yearbook, magazine or newspaper publisher; firm, organization or agency engaged in the production of graphic arts or advertising; television or radio station; or educational or philanthropic foundation, please complete this form for institution or affiliate membership.
