ORGANISATIONS 2024
International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) / International Journalists' Network (IJNet)
The International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) enables a global network of journalists to provide the trustworthy news essential to free and strong societies.
ICFJ serves more than 177,000 journalists around the world, helping them cover the most critical issues of today, innovate to deeply connect with communities, and build news organizations that thrive.
It supports journalists everywhere as they face immense challenges: online and physical attacks, disinformation, an erosion of trust, an ever-changing media landscape, and threats to their freedom and their lives.
ICFJ programs include a mix of training, mentorship, fellowships and financial support.
