The Excellence in Journalism Award is presented to a journalistic organization for exceptional performance.
The Foundation's public programs, in the form of panel discussions and other events, are targeted at journalists, media executives, as well as academic and business leaders to help illuminate current issues or concerns.
In 2018, the CJF started celebrating World News Day, encouraging news outlets around the world to communicate to the public the role of professional journalism plays in democracies.
WND is held annually in May in many countries, although several Asian news outlets choose to celebrate it on September 28, which correspond with UNESCO’s International Day for Universal Access to Information.
