The media has a pivotal role in unearthing issue of corruption as it raises public awareness and can impact policy change in the interest of a better society and a stronger democracy.

The Media Institute of the Caribbean (MIC) will be hosting its 2022 instalment of our Investigative Journalism Fellowship which commences on 4th January 2022. There will be eight virtual sessions which will culminate into an opportunity to work on a cross-border collaboration for the Caribbean Investigative Journalism Network (www.cijn.org)

This is an intensive programme which will be done virtually due to the current COVID-19 environment. The fellowship will include sessions that are relevant to the theme of “Uncovering Corruption in the Caribbean”. Participants are selected via an application process where they complete their submission forms online, in addition to supplying copies of their past work in the area of investigative reporting. A selection panel then reviews the application to select thirty to forty of the Caribbean region’s best journalists to be trained in different techniques of investigative reporting with regards to illicit financial flows and corruption.
