Award-winning, nonprofit organization that delivers accurate, ethical reporting from the world's least-covered places.
Global Press was founded in 2006 by Cristi Hegranes, a young journalist who once dreamed of becoming a foreign correspondent. But after going overseas on her first assignment, she realized that she was the wrong person to be telling the world’s stories. Instead, Hegranes passed her pen to local women in the community who had the cultural context and the source access to tell accurate, world-changing stories. Nearly 20 years later, that simple decision fueled a movement in international journalism that brought local women journalists to the forefront of the industry.
