I envisioned The Stringer Foundation following conversations with philanthropists who are inspired to scale up courageous reporting.
Our conversations could not have come at a better time, as global journalism is in crisis and at a historical point of inflection.
I've walked and worked alongside many brave reporters around the world who go unrecognized and unsupported. There is no single global prize that exists to honor, inspire, and support them.
