About
The New Humanitarian is an independent nonprofit news organization that delivers on-ground reporting of humanitarian crises worldwide. Founded by the United Nations in 1995 after the Rwandan genocide, it has evolved into a critical voice that scrutinizes the multi-billion-dollar aid industry and highlights its shortcomings. With a focus on field-based journalism, the newsroom provides timely, in-depth coverage of forgotten and high-profile emergencies while resisting sensationalism. Its unique position as one of the few dedicated crisis newsrooms enables it to hold aid actors accountable and amplify the voices of those most affected, informing prevention and response strategies.
