connect citizen journalists with
professional investigative
journalists, forming a mutually
beneficial partnership that fosters
collaboration and growth.

7. Giving a voice to
the voiceless
The ICCJ works as a support system
for up-and-coming investigative
journalists. We strive to provide
resources, training, and
connections for the citizen
journalists who seek to expose the
truth across the globe. Our mission
is to give a voice to the voiceless.

9. Humanizing the
News
Citizen journalists effectively offer
“human-scale views” of events.
They are able to offer viewpoints
and local context that
monocultural journalists are
unable to see or provide. That’s
why we think it’s so important to
incorporate their work into the
mainstream news media.
