Cronkite Global

A better media world

The Cronkite School’s global initiatives connect students and scholars with international professionals, scholars and citizens; together, we’re fostering change and advancing understanding through media. 

Cronkite scholars conduct international research and global exchange: They’re combating gender-based violence in El Salvador through media campaigns, and advancing journalism education in North Macedonia. Meanwhile, Cronkite students create award-winning reporting on border issues throughout the world, explore media landscapes in Cuba, tell stories through photojournalism in Rwanda, and more. Meanwhile, international media professionals, scholars and leaders turn to us to learn from and share their perspectives with the Cronkite community. Explore our initiatives below.
