The Global Reporting Centre (GRC) is an independent news organization focused on innovating global journalism, based out of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Its model works by pairing scholars, leading journalists and news organizations to cover neglected stories around the world.[1] Founded by Peter W. Klein, it grew from the International Reporting Program (now called the Global Reporting Program) based at the University of British Columbia Graduate School of Journalism, Writing, and Media.[2] Peter W. Klein stepped down as executive director in 2023 to join NBC News as executive editor of investigative reporting.[3][4] Andrea Crossan, who was the former executive producer of PRX’s The World (radio program), took over as executive director.[5][6][7]
