Citizen Journalism Educational Trust

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.
