Over the past 33 years, ICFJ has worked with more than 100,000 professional and citizen journalists and media managers from 180 countries. We work with strong local partners and a network of dedicated alumni.
ICFJ does more than train journalists. We launch news organizations, media associations, journalism schools and news products. With a focus on innovation, we have formed networks of citizen journalists who are using new mobile services to engage under served communities in India, Indonesia and Ghana.

And we have organized the first African News Innovation Challenge to solve digital bottlenecks and create new applications for use in newsrooms across the continent.
