IRS990/Desc02015 Accomplishments:At Western Center for Journalism (WCJ) we focus on promoting integrity and professionalism journalism. We enhance journalisms public esteem and honor through investigative reporting. Our investigative writers produced a record number of news articles in 2015 and these articles were published on a variety of websites. WCJ also trains individuals to become "citizen journalists" and bloggers. These conferences include distribution of the bloggers tool kit and advice from experienced bloggers and citizen journalists. These aspiring journalists are provided with technical training and practical advice on quality reporting and commentary.We also deepened our relationship with Arizona Christian University by funding their school of communications and inviting their students to participate in our Social Media Bootcamp. WCJ also launched the website EEECenter.org, and the Center for Entrepreneurship, Ethics, and Enterprise. Lead by professor Dave Newton, the Center produces original research and commentary to promote the 3 timeless foundations that have made the American economy the greatest developer of innovation, jobs, and wealth the world has ever seen. 1.Entrepreneurs spot opportunities in all kinds of markets and then take on the risk to create innovative product-service solutions for businesses and households.2.Ethics demonstrate the foundational values that define the value proposition the message made by product-service providers to their target audiences.3.Enterprise is the logical activity whereby all kinds of ventures are launched to facilitate smooth transactions between buyers & sellers.WCJ continued our participation in the Free Speech Coalition and in efforts to fund and assist litigation which we believe fosters free speech and freedom more widely. Throughout the year, WCJ also publishes articles, blogs, etc. on issues that provide insights on government abuse, reporting falsehoods in the mainstream media, and promoting open public debate through quality journalism and reporting.
