Community of Investigative Journalists – Foundation 19/29, Czech Republic

Community of Investigative Journalists – Foundation 19/29 is an international NGO registered in 2015 in Prague, the Czech Republic by two independent Russian journalists. Its goals include: providing professional, financial, and legal assistance to independent Russian journalists in their investigations; helping investigative reporters and bloggers to develop their professional skills, using new media technologies, putting together professional journalism skills and potential of citizen journalism and social media to achieve high-standard broad investigative reporting. The group was formerly known as Foundation 19/29, but after they were included in the Russian government’s “foreign agents” list they re-registered in Prague while keeping some of their activities in Russia.
