Join the Debate

Join thousands of journalists worldwide on ICFJ's International Journalists' Network (IJNet). Take part in this week's discussion question, which asks: "Does family or religion ever lead you to self-censor?"

You will need to register and create a profile in order to participate in IJNet discussions. Since we launched a redesigned IJNet site a few months ago, hundreds of you have already created profiles. So far, you are using IJNet to connect with your journalist peers, answer discussions and polls, solicit professional training opportunities, post your own questions and even hunt for jobs.

The Douglas Tweedale Memorial Fellowship
The six-week fellowship program will begin with a three-day orientation and professional program for the participant in Washington, D.C. The journalist then will depart for a two-week assignment in the newsroom of a Spanish-language media organization in the United States, followed by another assignment at a prestigious newspaper or TV station in Latin America. At the conclusion of the professional newsroom attachments, the fellow will attend a wrap-up and evaluation program which will include trainer-training techniques.


Scripps Howard Latin American Media Ethics Seminar

The overall goals of this proposed training course are to assist news media and journalists in Latin America to identify common threads of professional behavior, stimulate a dialogue about journalism independence, discuss country-specific principles of conduct, and encourage participants to reflect on their own personal code of ethics and to continue the discussion about ethics in their own newsrooms. This program is sponsored by the Scripps Howard Foundation.
