Philippine Center For Investigative Journalism
<http://www.pcij.org/>
The Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) is an
independent, nonprofit media agency that specializes in investigative
reporting. It was founded in 1989 by nine Filipino journalists who
realized, from their years on the beat and at the news desk, the need for
newspapers and broadcast agencies to go beyond day-to-day reportage.
While the Philippine press is undoubtedly the liveliest and freest in
Asia, deadline pressures, extreme competition and budgetary constraints
make it difficult for many journalists to delve into the causes and
broader meanings of news events.
The Center believes that the media play a crucial role in scrutinizing and
strengthening democratic institutions. The media couldand shouldbe a
catalyst for social debate and consensus that would redound to the
promotion of public welfare. To do so, the media must provide citizens
with the bases for arriving at informed opinions and decisions.
