Our Values

Global Press is guided by four core values: Dignity. Diversity. Transparency. Excellence.

We prioritize dignity in our work.

Exceptional employment

Producing world-class journalism requires world-class employment. At Global Press, we offer strong wages, a powerful suite of benefits, game-changing family leave and our industry-leading Duty of Care program.

Holistic security

Employing local journalists requires a commitment to holistic security. Local journalists require a robust and inclusive security methodology that prioritizes the interconnectedness of physical, emotional, digital and legal security.

Dignified language

The Global Press Style Guide establishes rules for referring to the people and places around the world where Global Press reporters work. Each entry is crafted with the specific intention of promoting dignity and precision in the practice of international journalism.

We value diversity in our work.

Newsroom representation

There is an evidence-based correlation between who works in a newsroom and who is quoted in stories. Making an intentional effort to employ journalists who reflect the diversity of their communities is a key ingredient in fostering global narrative change.

Local sourcing

Our diverse team of reporters has access to equally diverse sources. They always prioritize local sources who can provide context, nuanced analysis and the details of their lived experience.

Audience prioritization

Global Press partners with more than 100 media and distribution partners to ensure that our stories reach local and international stakeholders, in the language and the format that suits them best.

We ensure transparency in our work.

Gift acceptance policy

Global Press' business practices keep our journalism independent and exceptional. Our gift acceptance policy requires total transparency about every dollar that comes into Global Press.

Global Press Accuracy Network

From fact checkers and copy editors to translators and illustrators, we employ a robust team of professionals to ensure that every story is accurate and that we are accountable to our audience. The full team is transparently listed on every story.

A multilingual news publication

Most international journalism is about people it isn't for. Our commitment to serve both readers in our coverage communities and an international audience of changemakers requires multilingual news gathering processes. English isn't a requirement for our journalists and we publish every story in the reporter's local language and English.

We strive for excellence in our work.

Exceptional journalism

Since 2006, Global Press has received over 60 prestigious awards, celebrating achievements ranging from journalistic excellence and workplace innovation to web design and distinguished fellowships. Our outstanding team frequently garners recognition for their industry-leading thought leadership and exceptional work.

Duty of Care

We've built the industry's leading Duty of Care program for local women reporters. We've been honored to receive the Chester M. Pierce Human Rights Prize and an honor from SOS International for our outstanding commitment to the wellbeing of our global workforce. In 2022, Fast Company Magazine named our Duty of Care program a world-changing idea.

Bold leadership

Our women-led leadership team is as good as it gets. Global Press’ all-women leadership team celebrates the unique power, culture and vision of women across disciplines from human resources and learning development to editorial operations and creative expertise. We prioritize local leadership and value the expertise of our team members around the world.
