The '''Journalism Training and Research Initiative''' (JATRI) is a program that attempts to improve the state of [[journalism]] in Bangladesh by providing training and support to [[journalist]]s and researchers investigating [[social issues|social]] and [[economic issues]] of importance to [[society]]. The daily [[Press (newspaper)|press]] and [[broadcast media]] in [[Bangladesh]] provide the public with a range of news, but [[News report|reporting]] typically lacks detail. National news reporting is often focused on incidents involving individuals, rather than on the causes that allowed the incident to occur.

Launched on May 7, 2009, JATRI is a wing of [[BRAC University]]’s Institute of Governance Studies (IGS).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/campus/2009/05/03/feature_jatri.htm |date=2009-05-17 |publisher=Star Campus |title=JATRI launched to promote investigative journalism |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110617114148/http://www.thedailystar.net/campus/2009/05/03/feature_jatri.htm |archivedate=2011-06-17 |accessdate=2013-08-03}}</ref> Through its training content, it has gained a good reputation from the quality of its [[On-the-job training|training program]]. Mid-level journalists are the target audience for initial training events. JATRI is teaming up with international experts and local specialists to design and deliver a course [[curriculum]]. Locally known and respected [[editor]]s and [[academic]]s are being invited as guest lecturers to classes. JATRI also conducts research on journalism and [[mass media|media]] issues with an aim to improving the media environment for journalists.
