Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting


Address:

1779 Massachusetts Ave., NW, Suite 615

Washington, DC 20036

 

Websites:

www.pulitzercenter.org

www.pulitzergateway.org

 

Organization Description:

The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting is an innovative non-profit leader in supporting the independent international journalism that U.S. media organizations are increasingly less willing to undertake. The Center focuses on under-reported topics, promoting high-quality international reporting and creating platforms that reach broad and diverse audiences.

 

The Pulitzer Center's primary objective is to raise the standard of international reporting in a way that engages both policy-makers, the broad public, high school, and university students.

 

Our model targets the supply of international reporting in the U.S. media by providing travel grants to journalists.  We then extend this effort, targeting demand through educational outreach efforts. Stimulating broad public engagement is the driving principle of our website, with a “project page” for each reporting initiative that contains a variety of points of entry: print articles, photographs, video, blogs from the field, related web links, and opportunities to engage with the journalists while they are reporting and once the material is publicly released.

 

Rather than gate-keeping, our objective is to encourage “bridge-building” -- to bridge the gaps between new and traditional media, between citizen and news provider, and between the American public and the international issues that affect us all. We see the Pulitzer Center Liaisons as a way to help bridge these gaps.

Resource Opportunity


Resources Available:

 

Global Gateway is a partnership of media, educator, secondary school, and university resources that engages the next generation on current and systemic international issues that shape our future. Pulitzer Center-funded reporting projects from around the world are the basis for Global Gateway high school and university programs.

 

Through this education initiative the Pulitzer Center engages teens and young adults in class and online by supporting development of issue-specific lesson plans, bringing journalists from the field to classrooms and promoting online dialogues about critical global affairs.

 

The mission of Global Gateway is twofold: to provide students with fresh information on global issues, and to help them think critically about the creation and dissemination of news and information, with the intent of building a market for quality international reporting in the decades ahead.

 

The Pulitzer Gateways are the online educational portals that bring together the reporting in an easy to navigate format for use by students and faculty. They offer opportunities for students to connect with the journalists and their peers about global issues via the web. Through the Gateways, students can dig deep into the reporting, discuss it online and share their own stories through user-generated uploads of video and commentary, expanding a global conversation on under-reported international issue.

 

The Pulitzer Center seeks educators and schools interested in partnering with us to expand our reach. Global Gateway resources are also adaptable to general public and community events. Click here to request information.

 

Global Gateway also incorporates the Pulitzer Center’s University Liaison Network. This initiative links Pulitzer Center-appointed university liaisons with the Center to raise awareness of international issues on college campuses around the country.
