About WJRC

World Journalist Register Council (WJRC)

World Journalist Register Council (WJRC) is an international committee for media professionals created to enrol & certify journalists worldwide.

Journalism is the activity of gathering, assessing, creating, and presenting news and information. It is also the product of these activities. A journalist is a person who collects, writes, or distributes news or other current information to the public. A journalist’s work is called journalism. But journalism is not considered a profession, like doctor and advocate.

Doctors will pursue a medical education degree & enroll in a medical council for registration, to do medical practice as a doctor. A law student passes a law degree & enrolls himself in bar council to do practice as an advocate. But journalists don’t have his identity. (except-he/she working in big news organization and holding Id card as media person)

Today, millions of journalists are not registered. No matter, whether they are in the city or in the countryside. They spend their entire lives for journalism, face threats-attacks, for the general public. Fighting for the right to justice, yet no one should take care of them since independence. It is a tragedy.

WJRC is the first worldwide organization, fighting for Journalist Registration Act around the world, on the basis of self-regulation, self-dependency and mutual cooperation.
