IJJ, Now Independent, Continues Support of Social Justice Journalism
The Institute for Justice and Journalism (IJJ), continuing its mission of supporting social justice enterprise stories, enters 2010 as an independent nonprofit organization after nine successful years at the University of Southern California. Offering online resources, professional fellowships and forums, and direct support for enterprise journalism, IJJ has developed a network of hundreds of journalists and experts. Among its projects for this year, IJJ will begin a blog on immigration coverage that will offer tips and resources for journalists covering this hot-button topic.
