The SJA is an association for British-based professional sports journalists, whether writers or photographers, editors or broadcasters.

Martin Samuel gets his hands on the John Bromley Trophy for the SJA Sports Writer of the Year for the third consecutive time

Each year, we stage two of the most prestigious awards events on the calendar, our Sports Awards and Journalism Awards, plus a series of intimate lunches with top figures in sport, members' golf days and other social events.

We publish an annual SJA Handbook, a bulletin biannually and quarterly newsletters, plus regular e-mail updates covering the association's activities. We also offer a range of other services for our members and act as consultants to the organisers of major sporting events on media requirements.

Our president is the writer and broadcaster Sir Michael Parkinson, and the SJA committee comprises a selection of national newspaper sports editors, tabloid and broadsheet, past and present, top sports photographers, and well-known correspondents in print, broadcasting and online.

We are generously sponsored and supported by a range of partners, lead by UK Sport and BT Vision, as well as working closely with the British Olympic Association and the London 2012 organisers.

2008 marks the SJA's 60th anniversary, with November 26 a key date in the celebrations, with the staging of our latest Sports Awards event at The Brewery in Chiswell Street, where - in an Olympic year - we hope to host as many past winners of our awards as possible as well as celebrate the achievements of another generation of sportsmen and women.

The SJA website is a key communication tool for members and the broader public, including journalism students - in 2007, we launched a special section that outlines all the sports-related courses on offer within the UK, plus useful advice articles.

We hope that you find its content of use and interest - our news section is updated almost daily, so keep returning each day for more news of our activities and those of our members:
