Journalism and Media
The Stanley Center’s programs for journalists, editors, and other media professionals enable rigorous and independent reporting on issues related to global peace and security.
Our programs foster and strengthen independent reporting on complex global challenges.
We value independent, accurate journalism and the role journalists and the media play in building societies that are more informed, just, and accountable. To strengthen independent reporting on climate change, nuclear weapons, and mass violence and atrocities, we offer a range of programming tailored to members of the media.
The Stanley Center collaborates with partners to offer workshops, training, reporting fellowships, networking events, and dialogues for journalists around the world, customizing each program to specific needs, goals, and settings.
Through knowledge and skill building, providing tools and information, and creating space for peer-to-peer exchange and network cultivation, our journalism and media programs help journalists produce high-quality, independent reporting in the short term and over time.
Working together with skilled operations and logistics staff, we often seek opportunities to bring journalists together for in-person programming that fosters connection. Our participants experience places of interest, engage with key global events and stakeholders, and learn from experts and peers.
Our Programs
Our journalism and media programs typically include elements such as journalist-led training sessions, expert panels, field trips, reporting opportunities, and story development. While some programs are by invitation only, others are filled through an open-registration process or calls for applications.
Stanley Center workshops provide journalists with fact-based information and other resources for covering specific topics related to global peace and security.
