ICFJ's Country Director in Timor-Leste, Charles Rice, was recently invited to address the first-ever Congress of the Center for Timor-Leste Investigative Journalists. With an audience of about 30 journalists, Rice covered the role that journalists, particularly investigative journalists, play in society. He also urged reporters to make their voices heard when the draft for the new Media Law comes up for discussion in Parliament in late March.
