Podcasts about cristi hegranes

Cristi Hegranes is an award-winning journalist and founder of the Global Press Institute (GPI), a nonprofit organization that builds and maintains news bureaus in some of the world's least-covered locations, like: Cameroon, Haiti, Kashmir, Mongolia, Nepal, Zambia and more. The organization recruits local women in the areas and then implements a 16-week training-to-employment program in which they learn the principles and practice of investigative journalism. Upon completion, graduates are offered full-time, paid employment as reporters with GPI's Global Press Journal (GPJ), which aims to “produce ethical, accurate news, to create a more just and informed world, with team members who are guided by four core values: dignity, diversity, transparency and excellence.” In September 2023, Hegranes released her new book: “BYLINE: How Local Journalists Can Improve the Global News Industry and Change the World,” which features original interviews with some of the biggest names in journalism, including Nicholas Kristof, Carroll Bogert, Bobby Ghosh, Lauren Williams, as well as Global Press reporters across the planet. In the book, Hegranes states that international coverage led by local journalists can restore trust in the entire news publishing industry. She explains, “to enact this solution, the industry will have to let go of many outdated assumptions about what news people want, who has a right to tell their story.” In this episode of “E&P Reports,” we go one-on-one with award-winning journalist and founder of the Global Press Institute (GPI) Cristi Hegranes, whose new book: “Byline” makes a case that the global news publishing industry can become more sustainable by rethinking how it provides global news coverage by focusing on local news sourcing — as opposed to: “The flawed discipline of parachute journalism.” Within the interview with E&P Publisher Mike Blinder, Hegranes cites recent GPI research  indicating, “There is a deep reservoir of untapped demand from readers in the United States — across a wide range of demographics, including noncitizen, diaspora, and migrant populations — for international journalism that is local, precise and representative.”

Cristi Hegranes talks to It's All Journalism host Michael O'Connell about how Global Press is working to increase the number of local women journalists in some of the world's least covered places to tell stories that are rarely heard.

In this episode, Global Press Founder, Cristi Hegranes, shines a powerful light on solutions to institutional, ingrained problems that underly today's news media. She outlines key differences between action driven reporting and its more informative, impactful alternative: consequence driven reporting. Learn why trained local journalists, equipped to provide precise narratives that accurately inform listeners, represent a pathway to truly educating people in a non biased way, about important global issues.

Christiane Amanpour, Lisa Ling, Tamron Hall: These are just a few of the women who have made significant contributions to the field of modern journalism. It’s been a tough road for women who want to investigate stories and share them. Way back when women wore petticoats, female journalists were restricted to reporting on society news, and art and theater. Women who wanted to report more had to go undercover. Today, we’re grateful for all those gutsy, newsy gals who dutifully scoured the streets to report on the most important happenings, despite the repercussions. The post Cristi Hegranes: She’s Hot Off the Presses appeared first on On The Dot Woman.

Cristi Hegranes wanted to be a foreign correspondent since the time she was six years old. Within days of achieving her dream job, after all the traditional training, she realized she was the wrong person for the job. The right person? The women who actually live in the countries usually covered by outsiders. So she decided to train women journalists and give them a platform to tell the stories of their own communities. As she says, "To change the story, you have to change the storyteller."

Why train and employ only women journalists? This is a question that Global Press gets asked quite a lot. Inspired by this question, the eighth episode of the Global Press Passport podcast explores diversity in news and media, and specifically gender disparity in the field of journalism. This month, guests include Suzanne Franks, Professor and head of Journalism at City University of London, and author of “Women and Journalism”. Bob Papper, an Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Journalism at Hofstra University and director of the annual diversity survey for the Radio Television Digital News Association on the state and local radio and TV news. Adam Maksl, assistant professor of journalism and media at Indiana University Southeast and researcher for the American Society of News Editors where he works on the annual newsroom diversity survey. From the Global Press team we are joined by Founder and Executive Director, Cristi Hegranes, Africa Regional Program Manager and reporter, Noella Nyirabihogo, Senior Reporter in Argentina, Lucila Pellettieri, reporters in Mexico, Marissa Revilla, Mar García and Adriana Alcázar González, reporters in Haiti, Marie Michelle Felicien and Anne Myriam Bolivar, Senior Reporter in Zambia, Prudence Phiri, reporter in Uganda, Nakisanze Segawa, and Zimbabwe reporters, Linda Mujuru and Fortune Moyo.  

Global Press stories are published in English, French and Spanish. As we prepare to start publishing in Sinhala and Nepali, the official languages of Sri Lanka and Nepal, later this month, we are taking a moment to reflect on why we publish our stories in multiple languages. The answer is rooted in our commitment to accountability, accuracy and human dignity. In the third episode of the Global Press Passport, podcast host Kyana Moghadam invites guests to share their experiences with translation and interpretation, and to explain why words matter. “A Working Translation” features Global Press Journal translators Rishi Khalsa and Sagar Ghimire. Global Press Assignment Editor, Natalia Aldana, and Global Press Founder and Executive Director, Cristi Hegranes. From the Language Justice Project, a New York-based work group promoting multilingual access in the US by providing tools and guidance for social justice organizers, interpreter oral historian and documentarian, Allison Corbett and oral historian, cultural organizer and language justice advocate, Fernanda Espinosa, join the conversation. Lina Mounzer, a writer and translator who worked as a translator for the Damascus Bureau, an under-project of the Institute for War and Peace Reporting, joins us to discuss her translations of first-person accounts of life by Syrian women living through the war. Mounzer’s fiction and essays have appeared in Bidoun, Warscapes, and the anthology Hikayat: Short Stories by Lebanese Women Writers.

I’m sure you’re aware that most of the world’s news coverage from developing countries centres around 4 topics: war, poverty, disaster, & disease. That’s where Global Press comes in.   Global Press exists to pave a new way forward for international journalism. Acknowledging the flaws and limitations in both foreign correspondence and citizen journalism, Global Press offers a powerful third way. Global Press Institute (GPI) trains women in developing media markets around the world to be ethical, investigative, feature journalists. After completing the Institute’s 24-module training program, trainees are employed as professional reporters at Global Press Journal. At the Journal, reporters cover the topics of their choice, supported by a sophisticated editorial structure that offers deep insight, extraordinary context and complete accuracy. Once complete, local language and English versions of stories are published on the Journal and distributed via Global Press News Service, the syndication division of Global Press.   Global Press Journal’s coverage takes a much fuller picture of the developing world    In this episode we chat with Cristi Hegranes, Founder of Global Press. I first met her when she came to Singapore as a Finalist for Project Inspire when I was leading the program in 2013 and was immediately blown away by how confident, extremely capable and savvy she was and have followed her journey since. She has received a wide range of prestigious social entrepreneurship and journalism accolades. She is the recipient of the Grinnell College Young Innovator for Social Justice Prize, the Jefferson Award for Public Service, the Society of Professional Journalists Journalism Innovation Prize, a New Media Web Award, a Clarion Award for Investigative Journalism, and a Lifestyle Journalism Prize. She was also recently awarded the 2015 Distinguished Young Alumni of New York University.   In this interview, we’re going to hear about how and why she started, how it works and the impact of Global Press so far. We’ll also hear about how she developed a new business model for international journalism through Global Press News Service, a state-of-the-art syndication service that enables GPI to magnify its social impact and drive revenue from the sale of GPJ news content to media organizations, corporations, and NGOs. GPNS meets a market need by providing professional, diverse, affordable international news content to its partners. Let’s get in to the interview and hear from Cristi about how it all works.

[05:06] Cristi explains more about the how the Global Press training program works [14:00] How does Global Press ensure the safety & security of their journalists reporting from countries where freedom of the press or women working may be an issue? [22:40] How does Global Press measure impact? And what is the Hopefulness Index? [26:20] “We’re not in the reactive storytelling business. Whereas, a lot of mainstream media chooses to exist in the 24-hour news cycle - they are constantly reacting to the day’s event. And we’re a proactive news organisation, so we’re talking about stories that you might not know about.” [31:40] “We want the world to understand that these reporters are well trained. They go through a very robust editorial process” [34:00] “We’ve long covered the women of the world as recurring victims in their own environment. So, to say actually, a woman in the middle of the Democratic Republic of Congo is not a victim of living in the rape capital of the world and broken political systems, she’s actually a change maker and she’s powerful, and she’s using the tools of ethical journalism to change the narrative and to change minds. And that’s what it ultimately comes down to, is that the world understands the power of local women and that we have a very flawed assumption that white men should be the ones telling the stories of the world.” [34:40] “We’re constantly committed to quality, we’re constantly committed to accuracy and becoming the best storytellers in the world in the communities that we cover. And once we can solidly say we’re the best and convince the world that we’re the best then the gender of our reporters will just cease to matter. And then they’ll just be the best. They won’t be the best women journalists, they’ll just be the best. And that’s the goal.” [40:30] “If you have an idea, just do it. You’re not changing any lives just thinking and plotting.” [44:40] Three Things [47:50]   What was your favorite quote or lesson from this episode? Let me know in the comments!   HEAD TO FACEBOOK, TWITTER OR INSTAGRAM TO GET INVOLVED IN THE CONVERSATION!   Keywords: Social innovation, social enterprise, corporate social responsibility, technology for good, innovation, business, entrepreneurship, social enterprise, social entrepreneur, changemaker, social good, social impact, corporate innovation, intrapreneurship, volunteer, news, media, charity, news, journalism, journalist, gender, women, women in media

Cristi Hegranes is out to change the world using journalism as a development tool. After being assigned as a foreign correspondent and seeing editorial decisions being made on the other side of the world by editors who thought they understood better than she just what the story actually was when she was on the ground seeing the story unfold, she decided not only that there had to be a better way but that she’d create it. She created the Global Press Institute, the Global Press Journal and the Global Press New Service to train reporters, publish their articles and syndicate them, respectively.
