Global Press (GP) is reimagining the field of international journalism by training and employing  local women reporters in some of the least-covered parts of the world. Global Press Journal is the award-winning news publication of Global Press. Before applying, please click here to read our stories.

At the Global Press Institute (GPI), training prioritizes a powerful, consequence-driven definition of news value, unique sourcing methodologies, photojournalism, fact checking, the GP Style Guide, and safety and security strategies and protocols. The training also focuses on basic skills such as critical thinking, writing, story organization and technology use.

The Global Expansion unit identifies underserved audiences and ensures that GP is able to provide accurate news to underserved audiences. It also provides coverage on under covered or misunderstood/misrepresented topics. This is accomplished by:

  • Serving as an example of high-quality ethical and accurate reporting in local, regional and global media markets

  • Training reporters and editorial in techniques and skills

  • Connecting values-aligned reporters with values-aligned outlets

  • Building reporting and journalism entrepreneurship capacity over time in news deserts, transitioning political environments and unfree societies.

Global Expansion and GPI are partnering by opening training to reporters outside of our organization for the first time in our 18 year history. Our vision with this program is that overtime, reporters who learn the everyday reporting techniques taught in the training will inspire and create greater narrative change in their local media environments. The “Global Expansion Education” intern will serve an essential role: ensuring that the training operates as efficiently as possible for participating reporters. As this is the first program of its kind in the region, the intern will also be essential in identifying and helping resolve pain points within the program."
