EJI 2012 Has Been Postponed

for 2012. Please check back later in 2012 for information.

Though culture and customs dictate differences in journalism from country to country, at the heart of professional, responsible journalism rests a similar set of principles and practices. In emerging democracies and those long-established, journalism serves to build communities, to encourage citizenship, to give voice to the voiceless, to foster democracy. Weigh those lofty aspirations against the harsher reality that journalism is a business. Because it is a business, many claim that it is less independent and less courageous than it needs to be to truly serve its readers, its viewers, its listeners.

Each summer for a full week in July, about four dozen practicing journalists, student journalists and those drawn toward critical examination of the intricacies of the free press gather in Prague for the European Journalism Institute, a seven-day intensive program of seminars, lectures and discussions about journalism and its role, its power, its responsibilities.

Come join us for this once in a lifetime opportunity this summer!
