Environment
Our work improves the quantity and quality of environmental reporting around the world. The Internews Earth Journalism Network trains journalists to cover a wide variety of environmental issues, develops innovative online environmental news sites, and supports local content, including ground- breaking investigative reports.
Health
We work with media to ignite conversations on public health. We engage communities in dialogue that supports uptake of healthy practices and informed decision-making, and support the production of trusted, local-language health information.
Humanitarian
In the wake of natural disasters or violent conflict, we support media outlets and public education campaigns that deliver lifesaving information to people in need. We track rumors to counter the spread of misinformation after a crisis, launch radio stations to deliver information quickly and cost-effectively, and foster community dialogues to prevent conflicts.
Gender Equality
We strive to ensure safe access to information for women and girls. We work to advance women into leadership roles in newsrooms and technology companies – and promote the production of more news stories by, for and about women and girls.
Global Technology
We support partners around the globe to demand, build and protect a safe, accessible internet, with a particular focus on the world’s most vulnerable populations. From funding local internet rights advocacy to designing cuttingedge security, we connect local partners globally and provide technological support to media outlets and human rights defenders.
