As a 24-year-old foreign correspondent in Nepal, Cristi Hegranes realized the woman she was interviewing in a remote village would be better at reporting the story herself. After all, she had the history, the context, the language skills, and the access to sources. So Cristi returned to the U.S., quit her job and asked everyone she knew for $40. With the $10,000 she raised, she founded Global Press. Today, Global Press’ all-women reporting team spans more than 40 communities across Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. The organization works to reframe global narratives, boost local access to information, and repair the lack of gender and racial diversity in newsrooms.
