citizen journalism educational trust
Croydon
The Citizen Journalism Educational Trust (CJET) inspires and encourages the
personal development of young people through journalism, writing, literacy and
improving their communication skills. It was launched in March 2009 and is a
charity registered with the UK Charity Commission. Its number is 1137691.
Community-based journalism is used by the trust as a powerful vehicle for
furthering the personal and social development of young people in hard to reach,
non-traditional communities by giving them the ability to think critically about
the world and express their ideas in a clear and collaborative way. Practicing
journalism requires them to engage in the civic life of their communities.
