In 2006, Hegranes performed the first GPI training in [[Chiapas]], Mexico, where five women were trained in the principles and practice of traditional [[investigative journalism]].<ref name="Ed & Pub 2011" /> The stories, which covered topics such as [[AIDS]], [[poverty]], clandestine [[abortion]] and [[community development]], were the first that were published by the ''Global Press Journal''.

GPI trainees are instructed in traditional investigative journalism. Their work addresses a variety of issues and stands in stark contrast with traditional foreign correspondence narratives, 97% of which center around four main issues: [[war]], [[disease]], [[disaster]] and [[poverty]].<ref name="HuffPo 1.15" />

GPI reporters have covered a range of issues such as caste discrimination and political rape.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://globalpressinstitute.org/africa/zimbabwe/political-rape-survivors-come-forward-advance-2011-election|title = Home}}</ref> Founder Hegranes has said more than 25 percent of GPI's reporting has created [[social change]] in the form of [[protest]]s, attracting [[News media|media]] attention, and helping to change laws in [[Nepal]] and [[Rwanda]] and some community policies in [[Zambia]].<ref name="Changemakers">{{cite web|last1=Berkowitz|first1=Mike|title=Global Press Institute: Digital journalism for women in the developing world|url=https://www.changemakers.com/girltech/entries/global-press-institute-digital-journalism-women-develop|website=Changemakers|publisher=Changemakers|access-date=25 March 2016|ref=Changemakers|archive-date=15 August 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160815034917/https://www.changemakers.com/girltech/entries/global-press-institute-digital-journalism-women-develop|url-status=dead}}</ref> We believe our independent, high-quality journalism is essential to creating a more informed and inclusive world. Our recent impact includes the Mongolian government [https://www.globalpress.co/videos/impact-timeline-virginity-testing-in-mongolia issuing a regulation] intended to stop virginity tests in schools and the Zimbabwean government [https://www.globalpress.co/videos/impact-timeline-gold-mining-in-zimbabwe banning the use of mercury] to mine gold. Both issues were reported on by Global Press reporters.

Global Press Institute is a Washington DC–based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization[1] that publishes news from some of the world's least-covered places. This is done by local women journalists[2] as opposed to foreign correspondents.[3][4][5][6][7]

The organization consists of three divisions: Global Press Institute, which focuses on training local women to become journalists in developing media markets; Global Press Journal, the organization's award-winning multilingual news publication; and Global Press News Services, which sells products and services to media, education, and corporate syndication partners.[8]

History

[edit]

The organization known today as Global Press Institute was founded in 2006 by Cristi Hegranes,[9] an American who had traveled to Nepal as a journalism student[10] and concluded that a local woman was better equipped to report on a community's story due to her cultural and historical context and access to reliable sources.[11] [12][13][14]

Mission and Impact

[edit]

Global Press creates a more informed and inclusive world by training and employing local women journalists to report news in their own communities, some of the world's least-covered places.[15][16] As of 2022, the organization claimed to have trained and employed 250 women journalists in 40 locations, including communities in Argentina, Democratic Republic of Congo, Haiti, Mexico, Mongolia, Nepal, Puerto Rico, Sri Lanka, Uganda, United States, Zambia and Zimbabwe.[17][18]

Training

[edit]

GPI implements a training-to-employment mode, in which English proficiency and secondary school completion is not a requirement.[19][20] Upon completion of the training, graduates may be offered paid employment with Global Press Journal.[8]

Funding and Support

[edit]

GPI relies on individual and institutional donors, with plans to move towards sustainability through syndication revenue generated from Global Press News Services.[21] Its donors include the Ford Foundation,[22] MacArthur Foundation,[23] and The Susie Tompkins Buell Foundation.[24]

Controversy

[edit]

In 2023, Semafor reported that Global Press had exponentially inflated its audience numbers to funders and raised questions about the role of editors in writing GPJ stories and whether the organization's journalism training program had equipped local women reporters for employment at any other media organization.[25]

In 2024, a Columbia Journalism Review investigation reported that Global Press was laying off journalists and recalibrating its operations amid financial difficulties, and raised questions about workplace conditions and whether GPJ reporters had been adequately trained for employment elsewhere.[26]

Global Press Journal

[edit]

Global Press Journal is a multilingual news publication featuring stories reported by women based in developing countries, covering a range of topics including arts and culture, business, climate, community, economic justice, education, environment, gender justice, health, human rights, migration, and politics.[27] The stories are published in English and their local language, and all of them adhere to the Global Press Style Guide, a living document that establishes rules for referring to people and places in Global Press' coverage communities and promotes dignity and precision in international journalism.[28] [27]
