Guides
When we learn something new we like to share with others. With our journalism, we experiment with new forms and approaches while documenting what works, what doesn’t, and what might be helpful to others. We’ve created a series of media training guides that inform best practices around global reporting. We’ve also created a series of teaching guides for educators to explore the content of our projects with their students. All these guides are open-source and free-to-use.

Fixers Guide
In nearly a decade of work studying the foreign correspondent-fixer dynamic, the Global Reporting Centre has identified several key areas of concern for local journalists: respect, editorial agency, pay, safety, and credit.
Working together with a diverse group of journalists — editors, reporters, and fixers — we compiled a list of suggested best practices for global newsrooms when hiring local journalists. It is our hope that this document will create a standard for working practices.
