Programs Run By CIIJ
- Pop and Politics is an award-winning online magazine that engages young Americans in the civic life of the nation by empowering them to be informed citizens. The publication critiques and covers the way pop culture and politics intersect, and gives a space for young writers to showcase their journalistic talents.
- Prime Movers is a pilot initiative funded by the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. It features a mentoring component that brings together a veteran journalist with a new journalist with the goal of helping the younger journalist improve his or her skills, develop a career focus, and encourage him/her to stay in the profession. Both the veteran (the Prime Mover) and the new journalist (the Rising Star) then work with a local high school to help improve their newspaper journalism program.

Famous quotes containing the words programs and/or run:
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
“We that are true lovers run into strange capers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
