Impact Editor, The New Humanitarian

Janine Bressmer is The New Humanitarian’s Impact Editor, where she works to ensure that journalism not only informs but also contributes to meaningful change through ethical storytelling. She designs strategies to extend the reach and influence of TNH’s reporting, engaging directly with policymakers, practitioners, and affected communities.

She holds a PhD in International Relations/Political Science from the Geneva Graduate Institute, where her research on humanitarian security management in Ethiopia and Switzerland examined how risk practices are shaped by racial dynamics, in particular whiteness as an embodied privilege.
