5 Pillars
EWA’s long-term vision is shaped by its collective belief that:
- Excellent education journalism creates more informed citizens and leaders.
- Informed citizens and leaders make better decisions about our country’s education system.
- Better decisions lead to improved student outcomes and a more inclusive, informed, participatory society.
- EWA believes high-quality education journalism plays a key role in helping to improve education. Excellence in education journalism relies on strengthening the knowledge and skills of education writers, supporting them in their work, and raising the prominence of the education beat.
- High-quality journalism creates a more informed and participatory public, which strengthens education for all.
EWA helps our members create the highest-quality coverage. This focus on quality is essential for the work to result in greater awareness and a more participatory public.
EWA builds community by fostering connections among professionals covering education and encourages them to learn together, share different perspectives, and maintain the highest standards of journalism.
EWA believes strongly in upholding professionalism in education journalism. This includes being fair, accurate, transparent, and independent in covering education issues.
EWA embraces and advocates for a diversity of education writers, a diversity of issues, and a diversity of perspectives. We continue to strive to serve an increasingly diverse and broad range of education content generators.
