About CCIJ

Organizational Structure

CCIJ is growing at a remarkable rate. We have strong participation from journalists, photographers, data scientists, and students. Journalists from Africa, Latin America, Asia, Europe, and North America—with initial strategic focus in Southern Africa and the United States—are now part of the network.

Regional Hubs

Our vision is to develop a series of regional hubs with leaders who spearhead journalistic coverage in those areas. Hub leadership will oversee local reporting and training in close coordination with their regional hub peers and CCIJ’s core editors. The first two hubs are located in the United States and Southern Africa where our membership is strongest. Ultimately, these hubs will create the connective tissue that gives CCIJ its shape.

Governance

Along with regional hub leadership, CCIJ is guided by a core team of editors and professional partners. We also lean heavily on the collective expertise of its Board of Directors and its Advisory Board.

Collaboration + Mentorship

Amplifying Emerging Journalists

We provide meaningful collaboration, training opportunities and mentorship to local journalists and students around the world. We aim to broaden their professional horizons by embedding them within global investigations to which they otherwise would not have access. Ultimately, we provide these talented reporters with an opportunity to reach a much wider audience with their work.
