In May of 2007, the Centers in Budapest and Bucharest became independent and remain vibrant local institutions today. Their programming for Roma remains in the forefront of diversity initiatives in Europe. Both Centers are the go-to partners for both local and international organizations focused on journalism. Please see their web sites for more information www.cij.hu/en and www2.cji.ro

In 2000, IJF began working in Southeast Asia by offering the International Workshop in Advanced Journalism at the Royal University of Phnom Penh for young working journalists from Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar (Burma). As a result of these classes, which trained several hundred young journalists, IJF was invited to provide additional programming at home organizations for our participants. In Vietnam, we developed a comprehensive program for the Vietnam News Agency, which publishes scores of magazines and newspapers, and which was then becoming active in broadcasting. Our focus has been on business, environmental and health reporting, and we have published several media guides to assist reporters in their quest for facts.

IJF continues to provide training and support to professional journalists in Southeast Asia on a project basis. All of the courses taught follow the principles practiced by responsible journalists worldwide.
