The Press Institute was founded on the belief that when people have access to information, they are able to live freer, fuller lives. Technology is at heart of our programs and what allows our work to have a high impact at a low cost.

Citizen Journalist Digital Camera Drive

The Press Institute is looking for working digital cameras for our journalists to facilitate their reporting and writing activities. Armed with a camera, Press Institute reporters will have the opportunity to paint a more complete picture of both the vibrancy and the hardships of life in the developing world. Their articles and photographs will appear on this site in the coming months.
