IPS Inter Press Service - International News Agency

IPS ( http://ipsnews.net) is an international non-governmental not for profit organization dedicated to communication and development cooperation. Its core business is a global news agency, producing independent news and analysis about events and global processes affecting economic, social and political development, especially in the South. The approach of IPS journalism is to give specific and overt prominence to the voices of the marginalised and the vulnerable, to reflect the views of civil society, and to mainstream gender in all reporting. Examining the impacts of globalisation and its governance is a priority. IPS offers news services in seventeen languages. The IPS audience encompasses media, civil society and the international community, reached both by traditional and new communication mediums (print, radio, email, Internet and publications). The agency has significant experience of training journalists, and project partnerships with NGOs, social movements and broader civil society. IPS is registered as an international, not-for-profit association with its headquarters in Rome, Italy, and regional centres in Bangkok, Berlin, Johannesburg, Montevideo and New York. IPS has 'general' NGO consultative status with ECOSOC at the United Nations, and the OECD status of "ODA eligible international organization".
