About Us
WJI’s mission is to engage, equip, connect, and encourage Christians called to use their gifts in the field of multimedia journalism. Professional journalists blend in-person, individual instruction and feedback with hands-on reporting experiences to teach students how to tell stories informed by a Biblical foundation in print, online, and on the air.
WJI offers one and two-week multimedia journalism intensives taught by WORLD News Group reporters and editors. Graduates explore a career in journalism by growing their skills, portfolio, and faith. WJI also provides ongoing opportunities to connect with fellow alums and build relationships that can lead to new career possibilities and lifelong friendships.
WJI participants receive instruction in the craft of journalism and then apply what they learn by venturing into the community to do pavement-pounding reporting with a biblical lens. Instructors share their expertise and experience to help them hone their storytelling and multimedia skills. At WJI, students are invited out of their comfort zones and gain the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the field.
