The Landscape of media and journalism is changing, and Save the Children wants to help drive that change.

We are moving into an era of citizen journalism. An exciting time where motivated citizens can make a difference in the media landscape and as a result in the cultural landscape. Stories that were once censored in the mainstream media landscape are coming out through other venues. We aim to facilitate and create a venue for these changes at Save the Children and encourage a burgeoning and brilliant new crop of investigative reporters.

What is Media?

We define Media as the creative byproduct of a serious investigation. 
What follows is how we would categorize it.

This categorization reflects media forms where the depth of investigation significantly influences the creativity and impact of the final product. Each category and subcategory can overlap, showcasing the interdisciplinary nature of modern media production based on serious investigation.

27% of trafficking victims are children.

small key iconThe majority of human trafficking victims are involved in forced labor. Labor trafficking involves the use of fraud, coercion, or force in order to get a victim to provide labor or services. More than two-thirds of trafficking victims fall into this category, including more than 10 million adults and nearly 4 million children.

The International Labor Organization reports that forced labor generated USD $150 billion in illegal profits per year. “Specifically, $51.8 billion USD in forced labor profits come from the Asia-Pacific region.” (IBLA 2019)
