We help journalists and newsrooms to tackle these issues, wherever they are from.Our projects vary in scope and scale, from assisting journalists in Zambia or the Philippines to cover national elections, helping Congolese or Jordanian journalists take impactful photographs, or investigating the governance of international aid. We also run regional schemes that work with journalists across a whole continent, such as our Wealth of Nations project in Africa, or the Perspektivy programme in Russian speaking countries.^ Thomson Reuters Foundation HubsOpportunities for JournalistsOpportunities for Journalists Climate Change, Environment & Resilience Reporting on Locally Led Adaptation to Climate Change Online - Zoom 02 AugustView Climate Change, Environment & Resilience Communicating Locally Led Solutions to Climate Change Adaptation Online 03 AugustViewReuters InstituteReuters InstituteThe Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism was established in 2006 with core funding from Thomson Reuters Foundation.
