Get Your Media Training On

PWV_3.jpgI’ve posted a bit on feministing before about my experience as part of the inaugural class of the Progressive Women’s Voices Project over at the Women’s Media Center. In short, it was awesome–the least paralyzing media training I’ve ever had, the most intergenerational, diverse, talented staff I’ve ever encountered at a feminist nonprofit, and some seriously helpful ongoing help for a freelancer like little ol’ me. Anyhow, they’re accepting applications for their third class. Check it out and definitely drop them an application if you think it sounds up your alley. Info below:
Through our Progressive Women’s Voices program, the WMC works to amplify the voice of progressive women in the media, while building a new class of experts and commentators to fuel the conversation. We are currently looking for outstanding women candidates for our next class. Candidates should be experts in a given field, with some media experience and exposure. The WMC will offer, over a three month period, a series of media trainings, op-ed trainings, issue briefings, and networking sessions to each class. The WMC will then pitch these experts to the media, with the goal of acquiring a consistent, highly visible slot for their opinions.
The application deadline is June 2, 2008. Apply today!
