Journalistic Education

We believe journalism plays a powerful role in exposing injustice, reforming policy, and strengthening democracy. We actively nurture the next generation of international correspondents by providing scholarships, lectures and travel opportunities to aspiring young journalists.

Global Awareness

We strive to increase public awareness of human rights violations and other atrocities taking place in the world and highlight difficulties faced by international correspondents who cover such conflicts through lectures, film screenings, podcasts, and panel discussions.
