The Center for Excellence in Journalism (CEJ) is a vital initiative in TFAS’s long history of efforts to advance the field of journalism.

Objectivity and fairness in the media are on a steady decline, and today, many in the industry seek to promote a set of political beliefs rather than simply reporting the facts. At the same time, fewer conservative- and libertarian-minded journalists are being provided with early opportunities to build successful careers in the press. This has resulted in a skewed and biased media landscape.

TFAS seeks to continue to address these concerns and more by offering world-class journalism training for students and fellows nationwide.
