Three quarters of US news audiences prefer international news produced by local reporters, according to recent research commissioned by Global Press (GP).GP is an independent, non-profit newsroom that has 37 news bureaus spread across 12 countries, including in Asia, Africa and Latin America.It typically serves local news readers, as it hires only local women journalists who are not required to speak or write in English. It, however, started to see a demand coming from the US for its atypical brand of international news. It now has a network of interpreters, copy editors, translators and fact-checkers who rework copy into English.The organisation seeks to “disrupt rote narratives” in some of the least covered countries on the planet, says Laxmi Parthasarathy, chief operating officer of GP speaking on the Journalism.co.uk podcast.
