Offering online resources, professional fellowships and forums, and direct support for enterprise journalism, IJJ has developed a network of hundreds of journalists and experts. Among its projects for this year, IJJ will begin a blog on immigration coverage that will offer tips and resources for journalists covering this hot-button topic.
