We are selecting 24 Spanish and English-language media from around the world to join our next edition, which we will launch in the last quarter of 2023.

The HJN is a human journalism story-sharing program between media outlets worldwide. The team is responsible for selecting, translating, editing, and distributing all the pieces, making them available to the rest of the network for republishing.

The network brings together media from all over the world so that they can share one of their stories and benefit from the republication made by another media. If you are interested in learning more, click on the button:

Our latest edition brought together media from around the world who republished 25 stories between March and August for a total of 213 republishings. Participants: Convoca (Peru), Daily Maverick (South Africa), elDiario.es (Spain), El Toque (Cuba), GK (Ecuador), Globe and Mail (Canada), Rappler (Philippines), RED/ACCIÓN (Argentina), Río Negro (Argentina), San Francisco Chronicle (U.S.), The Irish News (Ireland), and The Quint (India).

What the participating editors said:

• “The most interesting thing was to offer our readers original international content and good stories with a human face.”
• “The most valuable thing about the content was the variety of voices and sources. The website is well designed, and the mechanism to republish stories is very useful.”
• “Being able to offer our audiences quality content about human journalism and from diverse geographies. If the Human Journalism Network did not exist, we would not have been able to provide such diverse approaches to our audiences.”
• “The most valuable thing was to see stories from our medium published in various media around the world (especially in some very prestigious ones like the San Francisco Chronicle). Also, the good translation into English.”
• “We highly value stories from people that are not superficial or ‘light’ but give a human face to the problems of the community. Stories that not only identified problems or concerns but presented people’s efforts to solve or address them.”
• “The Human Journalism Network is a great forum for accessing special content from different media outlets around the world.”

Each participating media outlet shares one or two stories of human journalism. The HJN team is responsible for translating, editing, and distributing all pieces. The shareable version of the stories includes a pixel ping tag to count the page views of each republished story.

Human journalism stories highlight how people and communities face their most pressing social challenges. They are stories produced on the ground, with a diverse sources, and that meet a high level of journalistic standards. They privilege a constructive approach because they tell how these people and organizations seek to solve these challenges.

For those media that do not usually do this type of journalism but are interested in building capacity and being part of the HJN, in the Global Edition 2024, we will offer a training workshop for participating media.

The Human Journalism Network was created to exponentially increase the practice and reach of human stories told from around the world and build a collaborative network of trusted media outlets to share those stories. 

Today’s newsrooms are under productivity pressures that often prevent them from having the time and resources to report these types of stories in depth at scale. Their participation in HJN allows them to have these stories for free.

For those media outlets that regularly practice this type of journalism, HJN helps them reach new audiences through republishing their best journalism in other media.

The HJN was created by Chani Guyot and the RED/ACCIÓN team. It is supported by the ICFJ (International Center for Journalists). Chani Guyot is a former Secretary General of La Nación (Buenos Aires, Argentina). He is a member of the Board of the World Editors Forum and currently director of RED/ACCIÓN, the Argentine media specialized in solutions journalism, which has received more than 30 awards in its six-year history.
