Website
GHN staff writers and freelance writers also create original content including news articles, commentaries, and Q&As. Collaborations with the Pulitzer Center, the Consortium of Universities for Global Health, ensure that GHN provides varied and valuable content from varied perspectives.
The mobile-ready website globalhealthnow.org came online in March 2015. Subsequent redesigns rolled out in 2016 and 2022.
Local Reporting Initiative
GHN’s Local Reporting Initiative is a GHN reader-supported project that is building a network of freelance journalists to report on public health issues in their countries. Experienced local journalists produce powerful articles infused with local perspectives on under-reported health challenges and solutions.
