Mission Statement

Global Press was founded in 2006 to offer a counterpoint to the disaster-driven narrative that the 24-hour news cycle prioritizes and legacy media perpetuates. Our network of professional, local reporters works within a robust editorial structure to produce integrity-rich, accurate journalism that features local voices, deep context and nuanced analysis on topics rarely covered elsewhere. All stories are published in the reporter’s local language and English to serve local and global readers. Global Press is an invitation to see the world differently.

About This Cause

Global Press is an international media organization that trains and employs local reporters to produce exceptional journalism from the world’s least-covered places. Global Press is changing the way the world is covered. Global Press Institute (GPI) offers local female journalists the opportunity to learn world-class journalism skills. From ethics and reporting methods to investigation and photojournalism, the Institute prepares journalists for careers at Global Press Journal. By recruiting diverse populations of local women and training them to become professional, ethical journalists, GPI is creating a new source of global information. Our training teaches local journalists world-class skills and offers long-term employment to training graduates. Global Press Journal (GPJ) is changing the media narrative from more than 40 communities where war, poverty, disaster and disease typically dominate global headlines. Our comprehensive coverage allows readers to understand these multi-faceted places and the people who call them home. Global Press Journal is known for its editorial rigor. Every news story goes through intensive editing, fact checking, copy editing and sociolinguistic translation. By offering high-quality employment to local journalists GPJ creates context-rich journalism to replace the disaster-driven, stereotypical coverage legacy media offers. With a commitment to 100 percent accuracy, GPJ stories feature local voices, deep context and nuanced analysis. Global Press News Services (GPNS) offers high-quality feature journalism produced by local, professionally-trained journalists in Africa, Asia and the Americas. These stories offer deep insight on complex issues, highlight often-ignored solutions and defy the stereotypical coverage offered by other global media outlets. By publishing stories in both the reporter’s local language and English, GPNS delivers high-value journalism partner outlets across the world. Local language stories increase access to information and English-language stories elevate global awareness and set a new standard for global news.
