Journalism Practitioners’ Forum (Japan) holds peer-to-peer training workshops in Japan to help journalists develop investigative skills and knowledge. Its annual conference has a broad spectrum of sessions from FOIA basics to the exposition of serious corruption, joined by hundreds of journalists nationwide, helping them build professional solidarity beyond newsrooms. Launched by experienced journalists and journalism educators in 2010, J-Forum has been holding seminars before being incorporated as a registered nonprofit organization in 2019.
