This two-year grant will build the capacity of entry-level journalists; strengthen mid-level capacity in ethical journalism, countering disinformation, and countering workplace harassment; train women in entrepreneurship to support independent reporting and income generation; and create a strong community of women media professionals through quarterly networking opportunities with U.S. and Pakistani journalists.
