Tips and Tools for Reporting on Food Insecurity • Thin Lei Win

In this masterclass video, Thin Lei Win, lead reporter at Lighthouse Reports, shares four key lessons for investigating hunger and the global food system.

She explains how to define food insecurity beyond availability, including access, use, and stability, and how to find and verify reliable data through sources like FAOSTAT and the World Resources Institute. Thin also urges journalists to map the whole value chain, from farmers to corporations, to expose inequalities, and to center communities and their actions, telling stories with people, not just about them.
