Opportunity Description

Young journalists from all over the world who are passionate about combating corruption and who want to investigate, report on, and speak out on social issues pertaining to transparency, integrity, and exposing corruption are being sought after by the 2024 IACC.

Young Journalists who have taken part in the program are invited to join Journalists for Transparency, a group of more than 100 journalists and storytellers who cover corruption and transparency issues worldwide. They also become a part of the YJ Alumni program. J4T can offer small-to-medium sized grants to YJ alumni so they can collaborate and look into particular corruption cases. The initiative aims to empower, encourage, and facilitate young journalists to refine their investigative skills so they can more effectively expose corruption and its detrimental effects on people’s lives.

  • Understand the objectives of Holding Power to Account, their global strategy against corruption for 2021–2030, as well as the IACC 2024 program and Transparency International’s national and international operations.

  • Post content on the IACC blog.
  • Participate in the IACC Social Entrepreneurs Initiative, FairPlay, and Films for Transparency, among other initiatives.
