A new platform dedicated to helping journalists win audience trust and tackle disinformation has been launched and with it a competition offering newsrooms (from countries included in the ODA list) a chance to win a media industry recognised stamp of approval.

Called ‘The JTI Campus’, the new platform is the learning arm of the Journalism Trust Initiative (JTI), a unique media self-regulatory body which is the brainchild of Reporters sans frontières (RSF). The campus*, which is overseen by Thomson Foundation, guides newsrooms through the process they need to complete to comply with the JTI standard and become a publicly recognised trusted source of news.

The competition
The JTI is offering a few lucky newsrooms the chance to become publicly recognised as an independent trusted source of news…for free!
The winners will have the cost of the independent newsroom audit paid for. This is the third stage in the JTI process which involves an external audit of your newsroom to check it complies with the JTI standards.
Please note – to be eligible to enter the competition you must: have completed stages 1 and 2 of the JTI process first and be in a country included in the ODA list.

If you have completed Stages 1 and 2 you can enter our competition.
