Our Programs By Topic

ICFJ believes that better journalism can improve people's lives. We are training health journalists to provide accurate and balanced information that will help the public and policymakers stop the spread of killer diseases. We are giving journalists the scientific know-how and resources to cover environmental issues, so that they can help their countries achieve sustainable economic growth without sacrificing natural resources and beauty. And we are providing in-depth training to business reporters, who can make markets more transparent and public officials and corporate executives more accountable.
