The Institute for Justice and Journalism was created in 2000 at USC Annenberg's School of Journalism with funding from
The Ford Foundation, which has continued to support the institute since that time. To strengthen news media coverage about justice and injustice, IJJ seeks to:
- Help journalists bring context, depth and diversity of perspectives to news coverage and commentary about complex justice issues;
- Make exemplary journalism accessible to the public across all media;
- Raise the standing of justice issues in the field of journalism, ensuring that media decision makers nurture high-quality news coverage.
