The Center for Investigative Journalism (CIJ) ( German : Center for Investigative Journalism ) is a non-profit organization based in London that trains journalists, researchers, producers and students in the practice and methodology of investigative journalism . Founded in 2003, the center annually organizes three-day summer schools, an annual investigative film week, and courses on data journalism and investigative methods . Since its inception, the school has trained more than 1,000 journalists from 35 countries. The CIJ is based in the Department of Journalism at City University London .

The CIJ particularly supports those who work in difficult environments where freedom of expression and freedom of the press are restricted, and in regions where truthful reporting can be a dangerous activity ( see: Restricting freedom of the press ). The training program is designed to promote in-depth coverage of the injustice, corruption, integrity and transparency of institutional power, and to hold those in power accountable.
