Newsroom
The CRS Newsroom is a key source for journalists who seek information on the latest issues surrounding the developing world. Our global network of regional information officers, based throughout Africa, Asia and Latin America, can provide immediate updates in emergencies and easy access to field staff. We provide video and other content for your website, and in some cases, can provide photos for stories or projects about CRS. Our dedicated Twitter feed for journalists provides breaking news and field reports during emergencies.
