The Public Affairs Section (PAS) of the U.S. Embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia invites U.S. academic institutions (U.S. university journalism programs) to submit proposals for a three-year partnership project to improve the standard of journalism instruction and assist in the institutional development of CSJMM. The means for achieving this objective may include: faculty development, curricula and materials development, program development (executive MA and PhD programs, joint degree programs), equipment, and strategic planning.

BACKGROUNDThe Caucasus School of Journalism and Media Management (CSJMM) at the Zurab Zhvania Georgian Institute of Public Affairs (GIPA) is the first western-style graduate school of journalism in the Caucasus region. It opened in Tbilisi in October 2001 with the mission to support the development of free, independent and professional media in the Caucasus through quality educational programs in journalism and media management. CSJMM currently offers three masters degree programs: Journalism and Media Management (English class, 2008-2010 enrollment: 40 students); Media and Communication Management (Georgian class, 2008-2010 enrollment: 42 students); and Public Relations (Georgian class 2008-2010 enrollment: 40 students). Since 2001, 198 students have graduated from CSJMM. Currently, CSJMM employs 5 full-time and 30 part-time faculty members. One quarter of CSJMMs students come from Azerbaijan, Armenia and Central Asia, which makes CSJMM the premiere institute of higher education in journalism for the entire Caucasus region. CSJMM operates two student media outlets, Radio GIPA and the Brosse Street Journal. It offers training and extension programs for professional journalists, journalism faculty, and press officers of state agencies. CSJMM emphasizes fact-based reporting and the highest standards of ethical journalism, with a hands-on approach to teaching. III.
