    Why join us?

    Join us because you want to make a difference, to help build a progressive, inclusive and just Malaysia. Freedom of expression is a vital part of a thriving democracy. We need to build a culture of discussion and debate rather than censorship and fear, to help Malaysia face the challenges and opportunities the coming years and decades bring. The Centre for Independent Journalism is Malaysia's only non-governmental, non-profit organisation working primarily on issues of media freedom, freedom of expression and freedom of information. We work with a range of partners at a local, regional and international level. Established by journalists in 2001, CIJ has a history of both advocacy and content production, focusing on content production by, with and for communities. This history still flavours CIJ's vision of independent media, one that is independent not just of political but also large corporate influence, with a space in the media landscape for community, private and public media ownership. The organisation is committed to human rights in all aspects of its work, and has a feminist politics of engagement, which includes acknowledging diversity, participatory processes and gender.
