The JSAP is a professional organization of Journalism educators and Student Publication Advisers in public and private institutions. It aims to promote Journalism studies and research as well as advocate for issues affecting the Journalism industry, including press freedom and media independence.

The establishment of a network of Journalism academics will hopefully improve the environment for a free press. JSAP was established with support from Internews and USAID.
