ONA18 Sponsored Luncheon RSVP: Trust and Reliability: Global Reporting with Local Context Hosted by MacArthur Foundation

The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation invites you to a lunchtime conversation about rethinking international reporting. Hear from two organizations that have created alternative models for centering local insight in a networked global news environment.

Global Voices is an international and multilingual community of bloggers, journalists, translators, academics, and human rights activists. Together, it leverages the power of the internet to build understanding across borders. Its distributed network of members have long been following what have now become some of the biggest stories of the year.

Global Press Institute was founded by former foreign correspondents to create a more just and informed world by employing local women journalists to produce ethical news coverage from the world’s least-covered places. As they’ve learned, accurate reporting can still be untrue if it lacks cultural competency.

Panelists:

• Belen Febres-Cordero, NewsFrames-Rising Voices Community Lead, Global Voices, Ecuador
• Cristi Hegranes, Founder and Executive Director, Global Press Institute
• Mayela Sánchez, Senior Reporter, Global Press Institute, Mexico
• Ivan Sigal, Executive Director, Global Voices

Moderator:

• Lauren Pabst, Senior Program Officer, Journalism and Media, John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
