ABOUT THE PULITZER CENTER
In 2006, the Pulitzer Center opened its doors with a donated desk,
modest seed funding, and high ambitions: to fill in the gaps in
under-funded global reporting and inspire a new generation of
journalists to cover the big global issues that affect us all.
Since then, the Pulitzer Center has built a fantastic staff and
expanded its funding and mission to support more than 170 reporting
projects a year on pressing global issues, sparking high-impact
stories in more than 600 news outlets annually. The Pulitzer Center
is behind some of the best reporting of the last decade: on
conflict and peace-building, environment and climate change,
migration and human trafficking, emerging science and health
issues, criminal justice and much more. The organization's projects
have won the Pulitzer Prize, George Polk Awards, Peabodys, Emmys,
National Magazine Awards and more.--

The Pulitzer Center has built a network of more than 1,300
professional journalists and college students and has forged strong
partnerships with leading national and international media: The New
York Times Magazine, Le Monde, PBS NewsHour, and The New Yorker, as
well as local, regional, and specialty media outlets in all
continents. The Pulitzer Center staff is global: a majority of the
team is based in the Washington, D.C., area, with other staff
members based in five countries outside the U.S.
--
The Pulitzer Center's unique education and outreach program brings
the organization's projects and journalists into hundreds of school
and university classrooms as well as a wide range of public forums.
The Pulitzer Center works closely with a network of 35-plus
universities, community colleges, and HBCUs (historically black
colleges and universities), bringing journalists onto campus in
person and online and providing mentored reporting fellowships for
students attending universities that are part of the Pulitzer
Center Campus Consortium. The Pulitzer Center is also currently
engaged in a major expansion of the organization's educational work
in the United States, as lead education partner for The New York
Times on The 1619 Project; the Pulitzer Center is developing a
similarly ambitious education program globally under the auspices
of its Rainforest Journalism Fund and Rainforest Investigations
Network.
