Excellence in Journalism

Promoting Free Press through Journalist Training

The Program for Excellence in Journalism promotes a professional, free and unbiased press by developing journalistic capacities among media practitioners in the region through the development and implementation of training workshops, experience exchanges and research projects. The program aims to create transparency and accountability in journalism, while also strengthening democratic institutions.

The program delivers workshops in Mexico, Central America and the Dominican Republic to train journalists in a wide variety of issues such as investigative journalism, access to public information and transparency and accountability. In addition, the program is currently conducting research on media ownership concentration in Central America.

The program receives funding from the Open Society Institute, the National Endowment for Democracy, the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), and the U.S. Department of State.
