Project Title
For a project training journalists in nuclear weapons issues
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Despite rising nuclear risks, coverage of nuclear issues in media remains limited, due in part to the technical complexity and lack of accessible training. With renewed support, the Outrider Foundation will continue to provide training workshops, educational materials, and access to non-governmental experts for journalists and editors to improve overall coverage of nuclear issues across news and entertainment platforms and specifically boost the media coverage of Carnegie nuclear security grantees. Building on the strong response and success of the 2024 summit supported by a previous grant, Outrider plans to expand its reach to include creative professionals and screenwriters, helping to broaden the conversation on reducing nuclear dangers.

With the decline in interest in nuclear weapons-related issues after the Cold War, few media organizations invested in covering these stories.Combined with the technical nature and jargon of nuclear weapons, the result has been a significant decrease in coverage and critical analysis.With this project, the Outrider Foundation will provide training workshops, educational materials, and access to non-governmental experts for journalists and editors.This will contribute to increasing media analysis and coverage of nuclear weapons issues and more opportunities for the public to engage with and be more informed about this topic.
