Philippine Centre for Investigative Journalism

The Philippine Centre for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) is an independent, non-profit media agency that specialises in investigative reporting. The Centre was set up in 1998 by nine Filipino journalists to provide citizens with the balanced information that will enable them to arrive at informed opinions and decisions by promoting investigative reporting on current issues in Philippine society and on matters of large public interest. It does not intend to replace the work of individual newspapers or radio and television stations, but merely seeks to encourage the development of investigative journalism and to create a culture for it within the Philippine press. The Centre believes that the media play a crucial role in scrutinising and strengthening democratic institutions and should be a catalyst for social debate and consensus that would redound to the promotion of public welfare.
