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 puts people on the air. Talk radio too often serves as a platform for strident voices, more interested in creating controversy and division than in offering solutions that bring us together. We believe that the broadcast media can effect positive social change and help build a civil society, and still be entertaining. Since 1995, we have provided engaging, thought provoking guests to clarify critical issues and bring new perspectives and approaches to urgent challenges facing the nation and the global community. Our goal is to raise public awareness and motivate listeners to become involved in achieving a society that works for everyone.
