Communicate that helping the world's poor opens new markets for U.S. and U.K. companies and creates U.S. jobs and jobs in the U.K.. If a company announces a major deal overseas, it might be due to a socioeconomic shift in that country. This section is all about conveying the economic benefits of addressing global poverty.Tell your readers the solution, not the problem. The media covers “10,000 Die in Hurricane;” The Borgen Project covers “App Helps Hurricane Survivors Find Loved Ones.” The public rarely hears of the slow, quiet progress being made. Find data and news about how life is improving in big ways and small.Simple ways to help the poor with new technology and innovations. Feel free to focus on one specific company or product, or tackle a whole area of innovation, such as solar lamps or rainwater harvesting. There's a lot going on with mobile phones, mapping, drones, etc.There is always progress being made in the fight against diseases, whether it's continued increases in vaccination rates, funding for new facilities or services, new methods of treatment or organizations focused on reducing the prevalence of a single disease or condition.Our tabloid for covering celebs, public figures and notable humanitarians who are fighting the good fight. This can include high-profile donations, charity endorsements, advocacy, celebrities founding their own philanthropy organizations or taking trips to developing countries.Here, we will focus on U.S. Congressional politics and U.K. Parliamentary updates that focus on foreign policy. Write about bills in the U.S. House of Reps. or U.S. Senate addressing global poverty and development, and the representatives doing good work to pass them. Spotlight initiatives in the U.K. driving global poverty reduction across health, education, food security and the like. Spotlight MPs who help champion these causes. We don't cover State / local politics or other governments. Big multilateral organizations (U.N., IMF, World Bank) are of interest.This is a catch-all category for in-depth analysis of specific issues in specific countries. We want to be the online authority on all developing countries in areas like diseases, aid, women's empowerment, infrastructure, agriculture, key statistics and social development.
