The International Women’s Media Foundation’s Newsroom Safety Across America Initiative builds on the IWMF’s multi-year effort to bolster newsrooms’ duty of care to protect their journalists’ physical, digital, and emotional wellbeing.
The Newsroom Safety Across America launched in February 2024 to support small- to medium-sized news outlets across the country. Last year, the IWMF trained more than 620 journalists representing 200 local and regional news outlets.
