Our unique GlobalGirl Media Academies are designed to impart the technical, critical thinking and leadership skills necessary to be outstanding GlobalGirl journalists and reporters. The 10-day workshop is designed thematically around the main principles of good journalism, instilling the values of ethics, teaching thorough research methodologies and finding good sources. All of our classes develop creative and independent thinking, and provide participants with the tools they need to understand and accurately cover an increasingly diverse world. Our instruction is multifaceted and includes hands on field practice, guest lecturers, case studies, role-playing, small group work, group discussions, writing, and reflection.

We prepare the next generation of female journalists to make quality media that matters. We foster confidence and self-esteem among participants so they can make a difference and contribute to change around the world.

GlobalGirl Media Bureaus

GlobalGirl Media News Bureaus will be set up immediately following the 10-day training. The GlobalGirl participants will be divided into teams who will then produce unique videos, blogs, new media and print content for digital upload and distribution on a wide range of topics.

The Bureaus will operate in conjunction with local production partners and will continue to provide on-going support and development of GlobalGirl Reporters and distribution of their content to our website and global distribution partners.
