WORLD PULSE - INSIDE VOICES OF OUR
FUTURE
Over the past five months, thirty courageous women have undertaken a journey of empowerment to become loudspeakers for their communities. They have overcome political uprising and violence in Yemen and the Ivory Coast, faced flooding in Saudi Arabia, power outages and inadequate internet connections in almost every country—all to speak their truths from forgotten regions of the world and bring their visions for change to a global audience....Working with our program partners Global Press Institute and Op-Ed Project, our staff trained the Correspondents on the principles of practicing ethical citizen journalism, and how to write compelling frontline journals, feature stories, and op-eds. They were introduced to new media concepts and opportunities, such as how to pitch a story online and offline; work with new social media formats (blogging, Twitter, Facebook); use mobile phones to access the internet; understand the strengths of multi-media content; and how to utilize these tools to amplify their voices online.
