Message from the Director

At the Centre for Advancing Journalism and Information Integrity, we are committed to strengthening journalism and the wider information environment through research, teaching, industry partnerships and public engagement.

Our research deepens public understanding of how people encounter and trust information, including the rise and influence of digital platforms and the spread of misinformation and disinformation. We aim to enhance information integrity by supporting public access to credible and trustworthy information that helps people make informed decisions and supports healthy democracies.

Journalism is central to this work and key to holding power to account. Independent, evidence-based reporting helps people participate in democratic life by providing​ credible information on which to base their everyday decisions. We teach students to report accurately, without fear or favour, with rigour and a deep understanding of journalism’s ethical and legal responsibilities.
