Welcome to the IAJ's website, which includes information on our courses and other activities, history, trainers and much else. This front page will keep reappearing, but the menu buttons on the left will allow you to navigate through the site.
The Institute for Advancement of Journalism (IAJ) was set up in 1992 to help improve journalism just as South Africa entered a new democratic era. Since then, thousands of people have passed through its doors. We place special emphasis on interactive learning, giving participants scope to develop their skills through discussion, role-play and hands-on exercises. Our courses offer an opportunity to learn new skills and refresh old ones, to network and to debate.
At the IAJ we believe in:
Delivering effective training throughout Africa
Facilitating African media networking
Assisting journalists from disadvantaged backgrounds
Stimulating sound news values; raising professional standards; supporting freedom of speech and information; combating all forms of discrimination

Partnerships with institutions like the Poynter Institute, Wits and Duke Universities gives access to the newest thinking in media around the world.
