Border Center for Journalists and Bloggers

The Border Center for Journalists and Bloggers (BCJB) is a non-profit organization based in Edinburg, Texas. Founded with the mission to elevate journalism standards, BCJB fosters safer practices and encourages cross-border collaboration and innovation within the journalistic community. The organization focuses on empowering journalists through various initiatives. These include building a binational network of media professionals, promoting investigative journalism, and facilitating the adoption of digital tools for data mining and visualization. Additionally, BCJB is dedicated to producing high-quality multimedia storytelling. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by border journalists, BCJB partners with media organizations, non-profits, and universities to conduct security workshops. These workshops equip journalists operating in high-risk environments with essential skills and security protocols to cover sensitive topics like immigration, human trafficking, education, health, local government, criminal justice, and corruption.
