About CIJ
The Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) is a non-profit organisation which aspires to create a society that is democratic, just and free, where all people will enjoy free media and the free- dom to express, seek and impart information.
CIJ can trace its beginnings to the political crisis of 1998 when a few journalists started Saksi.com, a website that attempted to give broad analysis to current political events. Today we have expanded our effort to advocacy of freedom of expression (FOE) and Information (FOI) and to encourage professional journalism practices and media freedom in Malaysia.
Our objectives:
- Promote and defend the exercise of FOE
- Raise public awareness of FOE/FOI to mobilise support for media freedom, expression and access to information
- Ensure good policies and advocate legislative change
- Facilitate marginalised voices through community radio
