The Mainstream Media Project is a nonprofit public education organization that places top policy analysts, social innovators and on-the-ground organizers on radio and television stations across the country and around the world.
We use the broadcast media and the Internet to raise public awareness about new approaches to longstanding issues.

Can You Get Your Message Out?
The Mainstream Media Project will train you to give interviews that effectively engage audiences, support your organization and strengthen the work you do.

Advocates, experts and grassroots organizers are often the most compelling spokespeople, but may lack the media savvy to deliver the message. MMP Media Training provides the tools for spokespeople to deliver clear and powerful messages to listening and viewing audiences. Our media trainings, conducted via toll-free conference call, save time and money. The trainings are recorded in studio, and MMP provides a CD copy to all participants.

The Mainstream Media Project believes that the broadcast media is an essential vehicle for effecting social change and for building civil society. Our mission is to broaden the discussion in the media by introducing new voices, perspectives, and approaches to urgent challenges facing the nation and the global community. By scheduling interviews with groups and individuals most effectively addressing regional, national and international issues, we raise public awareness and motivate people to become involved in the process of promoting positive change.
