Centre for Investigative Journalism CIJ
The Centre for Investigative Journalism advances education for, and public understanding of, investigative journalism, critical inquiry, and in-depth reporting and research.
CIJ is a non-profit organisation offering high-level professional training, resources and researc; to the community, journalists, students, non-governmental organisations and others interested in public integrity and the defence of the public interest.
The centre produces international summer schools, public fora presenting landmark investigations, technique, debates, speakers and screenings on critical issues â€" all designed to nourish the culture and professional standards of investigative journalism.
We are assembling a significant archive of investigative material. It can assist and defend investigations and provide research materials, advice and resources to NGOs, community activists, journalists and researchers. CIJ offers particular assistance to those working in difficult environments where freedom of speech and of the press is under threat and where reporting can be a dangerous occupation.
Journalism and the press refers to the profession of collecting, verifying, reporting, and analyzing information regarding current events, including trends, issues, and people. Issues that are central to this profession and to the communication of information include journalistic standards, the independence of reporting, censorship, bias, corporate ownership of the media, and the safety and human rights of the press.
