As the largest alliance of U.S. based international humanitarian and development nongovernmental organizations, InterAction is very concerned about the dwindling number of foreign news bureaus. Comprehensive international news coverage provides an essential global perspective to many of our national challenges.

In an attempt to turn back this still-growing trend, InterAction created the International News Reporting Media Summit in 2009 as an attempt to reinforce the fact that the global media community plays a critical role in the ongoing debate about the extent of U.S. engagement in global development.

The Summit brings together recognized national and international journalists, media educators, senior-level communicators from the development and humanitarian communities, donors and engaged media decision makers to talk about common issues and explore ways we can all continue to inform public perceptions of the world we live in.
