The Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism (CIIJ) strives to improve the four Rs of the journalism pipeline: recruitment, retention, revitalization, research.
Founded at San Francisco State University in 1990 by Betty Medsger, the Center for Integration and Improvement of Journalism believes that accurate and responsible journalism reflects the changing demographics of the society it serves. The center develops programs and conducts research aimed at recruiting, retaining and revitalizing journalists and journalism educators. In addition, the organization seeks to make journalism more inclusive from the classroom to the newsroom.
