Controversies
In 2023, Semafor reported that GPJ exponentially inflated its audience numbers to funders and raised questions about the role of editors in writing GPJ stories and whether the organization's journalism training program had adequately equipped reporters for employment at any other media organization.
In 2024, a Columbia Journalism Review investigation reported that Global Press was laying off journalists and recalibrating its operations amid financial difficulties, raising questions about workplace conditions and whether GPJ reporters had been adequately trained for employment elsewhere.
