Investigative Journalism Center (Fazana, Croatia)

Established in 2003 as a non-profit NGO, Investigative Journalism Center (IJC) supports development of investigative reporting in Croatia and in other countries of the South East Europe.

IJC uses a pool of trainers and mentors depending of the specific project, organizes investigative reporting workshops and other media events and cooperates with similar organizations in Croatia and internationally.

The IJC’s target groups are mostly young journalists and journalism students who want to be basically educated in the field of investigative journalism but also experienced journalists who want to learn specific tools and methods of investigative journalism.

In cooperation with Mediacentar Sarajevo IJC was part of the program Investigative Journalism – Stories of organized crime (2004 – 2007). In this learning by doing program, nearly 100 journalists from six South East European countries completed a five-month work on investigative stories mentored by editors and trainers. Many of them received awards for the stories made within the program. IJC was a Croatian partner in the South East European Media Observatory project (2013-2014). IJC is a member of the Global Investigative Journalism Network.

Since 2019 IJC has been organizing Fazana Media Fest, an international multimedia journalism festival.
