Company Profile

Company Description:

The Center for Journalism & Democracy, founded at Howard University in 2021, seeks to reshape the American media in ways that foster racial justice, hold power accountable and strengthen U.S. democracy. Guided by the traditions of the Black Press, we promote historically-informed, pro-democracy investigative reporting that exposes how power is wielded against the vulnerable.
 
Through broad-based partnerships with universities, media organizations, think tanks, and local communities, we provide opportunities to students at HBCUs and diverse practitioners within the journalism field for interdisciplinary training, immersive research, mentorship and deep collaboration. We are cultivating investigative journalists able to transform the national conversation about race, policy fairness and representative democracy.
