Our website is devoted to helping community, regional and national journalists cover poverty within their beats and to provide guidelines on how to appropriately write about people and poverty-related matters.

Our partnerships with media outlets like The Atlanta Journal-Constitution have resulted in compelling storytelling and award-winning work, including winning the Best ePaper Concept at the first combined Digital Media Awards LATAM & North America.

See some of our award-winning work and the reporting process behind it here.

Covering Poverty is brought to you by the University of Georgia Journalism Writing Lab.
