Global Press trains local women journalists to be experts in covering global health, civil liberties and the environment.
Our journalism is distinguished by its hyper-local sourcing and the revelatory nature of the coverage. Here, reporters include both global context and comprehensive analysis of an issue to ensure stories best serve our target audience of local and international changemakers, including educators, policy makers and movement builders.
Our Topics
Global Press prioritizes coverage of the environment in order to transform global understanding of the natural world from the local perspectives of people living in biodiversity hotspots and the most climate-impacted places.
Global Press prioritizes coverage of health issues to transform understanding of health systems that often determine quality and length of life for people who lack choices in their healthcare.
Global Press prioritizes coverage of civil liberties to improve global understanding of organized systems that often determine the freedom, autonomy and agency possible for people and communities.
Global Press verticals have included LGBTQ+ rights, women’s health and more. In 2025, Global Press will launch three new verticals, including Shifting Democracies in the civil liberties topic, Just Transitions in the environment topic and The Next Pandemic in the health topic. Readers can subscribe to custom newsletters and access stories in multiple languages across radio, print and internet partnerships.
Global Press runs two-year, full-time fellowships for local women journalists in key global locations. During the fellowship, reporters earn strong wages, have constant learning opportunities and publish vertical-specific stories within a specialized team.
Global Press employs full-time reporters-in-residence, who are local women journalists who cover specific issues or geographies. These senior journalists produce original series and investigations, while also supporting reporting fellows on the vertical teams.
Global Press offers certificate programs that train large cohorts of women journalists across the world in topic-specific coverage techniques. Once trained, graduates can contribute to Global Press, while also elevating coverage of the key issue in their own newsrooms.

The Global Press Style Guide is a living document that 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.
The Global Press Style Guide uses four decision-making principles to ensure source dignity and reader clarity in every word we publish.
What is the developing world? Where is the Global South? These are two examples of words that force readers to make assumptions. In general, these terms are sanitized synonyms for poverty.
When we use precise words and phrases, we offer dignity to the people in our stories and clarity to the people reading our stories.
Relying on labels — immigrant, victim, inmate, voter — distills a person’s humanity to a single factor or something that has happened to them (for example, the terms victim and survivor).
The Global Press Style guide bars words that require readers to make assumptions about what those words might mean (such as terrorist or rebel). In most cases, careful writing can be utilized to refer to people as people and not as a distillation of their circumstances.
The Global Press Style Guide always opts for terms that provide accuracy in context. Precise terms are emboldened by context-rich descriptions, which are often necessary to prevent bias or the stereotypes that often define people around the world.
At Global Press, we always allow sources to self-identify. This ensures we're using the most precise terms that will allow the source to recognize themselves in the story.
The responsibility to cover the world's least-covered places requires a constant commitment to investigative assumptions behind vocabulary choices.
At Global Press, our Style Guide Committee rigorously debates entries to root out bias and find the best rule and rationale to enable dignified, precise global storytelling.
The Global Press Style Guide has been adopted by dozens of news rooms, universities, NGOs and foundations that are committed to equitable and inclusive vocabulary.
Want a tailored version? Global Press News Services, the B2B-facing division of Global Press, offers style guide consultations to help global businesses achieve dignity and precision in their language.
