Audience & Impact
Global Press at 18

Global Press distributes its one-of-a-kind journalism to community stakeholders and issue experts via newsletters, radio, print and online outlets. When policy makers, experts and everyday changemakers have access to our stories, they have the tools they need to effect tangible social change.
Audience Development
Here’s how we reach educators, policy makers and movement builders around the world:
Our audience team builds partnerships with large-scale local, national and international publications to ensure wide exposure to Global Press stories.
Our audience team considers who needs the story most and builds a custom, per-story strategy to deliver stories directly to key stakeholders where they already consume news.
Once a story has been distributed to its intended audiences, our impact analyst follows the story to track impact over time.

From rural communities in the heart of DRC’s conflict zones to remote Haitian towns in need of greater access to information, we have dozens of local radio partnerships that allow us to serve rural and low-connectivity communities.
Partnering with national and community newspapers allows us to reach large national audiences and specific communities in our coverage countries; magazine partnerships enable us to reach niche expert audiences.
In addition to our own website, Global Press also serves more than 60 online media outlets, including Gogo.mn, Mongolia’s largest online news site, and Animal Politico, one of Mexico’s largest political publications.
Global Press creates issue-specific newsletters around each topical coverage area. From shifting democracies to global health, our newsletters equip experts and advocates with the locally sourced information they need.
partner quotes
We routinely seek feedback from our readers and distribution partners. Here’s what a few of them had to say recently:
“Global Press stories are important for us to republish because they speak to issues that the Zimbabwean media usually does not cover. And bridging that gap gives our audience access to balanced reportage that speaks to their daily lives.”
Mary Mundeya, She Corresponds Africa, Zimbabwe
“The articles I have read from Global Press are the most objective and well documented that I’ve known to come from Bahía de Banderas. Understanding our problems makes us proactive. I truly believe that these stories are extremely important for us, the inhabitants of this region.”
Gabriela Loreto Gay, Reader in Nayarit, Mexico
“Global Press Journal stories are rich with detail, well researched, presented with context and cover some of the least-covered communities in Uganda which makes them stand out.”
Giles Muhame, founder and managing editor, ChimpReports, Uganda
"Global Press articles are not only substantial, research-informed, and fact-checked, but also highlight pressing issues and achievements of local lives we hardly can reach. Partnering with Global Press helps us meet our goals of delivering credible, source-oriented, and creative content to our readers.“
R. Adiyasuren, Chief editor and manager, Gogo.mn, Mongolia
“As an international media platform, Global Press alerts governments to their international commitments. In Nepal's case, the government has signed seven of the nine major conventions issued by the United Nations. Similarly, Nepal is a signatory to 39 human rights treaties. Global Press' news and feature stories have aided in putting that commitment into action.”
Meg Raj Shankhar, Government Section Officer, Nepal
Across the world, citizens, policy makers, governments and institutions use our reporting as a foundation for education, movement building, and policy reform. Global Press journalism gives people the tools they need to combat injustice and inequality.

Policy Reform
Our 2018 story on a massive dam prevented the eviction of tens of thousands of people in Indian-administered Kashmir.
A 2020 story about the failures of Nepal’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission that left more than 69,000 cases unheard prompted the government to reconvene the commission and begin hearing cases.
Following our 2022 coverage of DRC's last remaining textile factory and their struggle to survive against cheap imports and customs roadblocks, the government invested in the factory.
Education
After our reporters wrote in 2016 about how young children were left to babysit infants all day while their mothers worked, a network of funders built a free daycare at the border.
In 2016, our story about a discriminatory hair policy in schools in Uganda spurred teenage activists and their parents into action. The policy has now been banned in schools across Uganda.
Our 2023 story about the dearth of schools near redistributed farmland in Zimbabwe was used by the teacher’s union, ARTUZ, to advocate for the creation of an education equalization fund, which was later approved by the Ministry of Education. Union leaders say they printed our story and carried it into the minister’s office.
Movement Building
In 2016 and on, we reported how Nepalese migrant workers were subject to fraud, overcharging of fees and confiscation of passports. Global Press was later cited in a bill that would offer health insurance to injured returned Nepalese workers.
Our 2021 story about Mexican farmers working to reduce pollution led to the city allowing stover burns on certain days and times, with penalties for those who do not follow the rules.
Our 2024 story about two mothers who turned a Puerto Rican community into a seedbed for Paralympic athletes garnered increased publicity and public support for the movement.
