The CIME Ambassador Program

The Center for International Media Ethics (CIME) invites applications for the CIME Ambassador Program on the occasion of CIME's third anniversary. The Ambassador Program is intended to serve as an outreach programme for CIME, supporting the international promotion of media ethics. In addition to providing journalists worldwide with an opportunity to acquire training with CIME, this programme offers chosen ambassadors the chance to be a CIME spokesperson in their respective regions.

CIME encourages journalists to take on a proactive role in defining ethical practices through the choices and decisions made at work. Thus, it is seeking ambassadors who demonstrate awareness and sensitivity towards the social responsibility of the media and the effects of journalistic choices on their immediate social surroundings. CIME believes that journalism ethics can be improved through effective networking and educating individual journalists and media organisations.

The selected CIME Ambassadors will receive training in CIME's J-Ethinomics courses and will become a part of its international network of journalists and media professionals. Following their training, the CIME Ambassadors will be expected to represent CIME in their region and to play an active role in raising awareness of media ethics. (CIME notes that these are unpaid ambassadorships.)
