A fund set up specifically to help journalists who, individually or as a group of two or three, might otherwise not have the financial means or technological resources, skills or experience to complete an investigation (written, radio or television).
This initiative is sponsored by two international organizations that support investigative journalism and the improvement of media and journalists worldwide: the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ) and International Media Support (IMS).
WHY FIJH?
• To instill a culture of investigative reporting.
• To improve the quality of reporting in Haiti.
• To help jumpstart a public demand for accountability.
WHAT WILL FIJH PROVIDE FOR JOURNALIST RECIPIENTS?
• Partial salary for the length of the investigation, as well as funding for expenses (travel, phone cards, copies, cyber café, etc.)
• A coach to work one-on-one with an FIJH journalist recipient.
• Translation of material and legal support, if necessary.
