Please join us for an evening hosted by Global Press to celebrate the connections between international and local journalists.
On the record: City Winery's own wines, craft beers, snacks, and a sneak peak at founder Cristi Hegranes' first book, Byline: How Local Journalists Can Improve the Global News Industry and Change the World.
On background: we're going to have fun! It's still allowed.
Journalism is in crisis, but the solution is right in front of us.
It’s no secret that news outlets are struggling to maintain their audience, and journalism jobs are being cut to accommodate tighter and tighter budgets―all while the public regularly falls prey to “fake news.” Today, news consumers have lost trust in journalism. They sense, rightly, they aren’t getting the whole story.
By reimagining the model for international journalism, Cristi Hegranes has proven we can reverse this trend―by changing who tells our stories. Local reporters with proximity to events and access to diverse sources tell fuller, more accurate stories―the sort of news consumers have been demanding for years.
Global Press is an international nonprofit news organization that trains and employs women journalists across the world. Today, Global Press operates dozens of independent news bureaus staffed by local women journalists who produce ethical, accurate feature journalism everyday.
Founded in 2006 by Cristi Hegranes, Global Press prioritizes building representative newsrooms, dignified and precise language and holistic Duty of Care for its reporters. Now, Global Press News Services, the B2B division of Global Press, is offering core services in inclusive language training and safety and security to likeminded newsrooms around the world.
