Since 2006, the Center on Media, Crime and Justice (CMCJ) at John Jay College of Criminal Justice has promoted evidence-based reporting on criminal justice by bringing journalists together with policymakers, academics and practitioners for candid discussions and briefings on major topics of the day. Nearly 1,000 reporters, columnists, broadcasters and editors around the country have participated as Reporting Fellows to date.
