Progressive Perspectives, formerly the Progressive Media Project, was launched in 1993 to help diversify and democratize our nation’s op-ed pages. We train activists and nonprofit staff on how to write powerful op-eds. Our op-eds are distributed nationally by the Tribune News Service, and reach a potential audience of 150 million readers each year. Our op-eds are regularly picked up by dozens of small papers as well as by mainstream news sites including the Chicago Tribune, Newsday, the Los Angeles Times, and the Miami Herald. Our goal is to support voices that are underrepresented in the mainstream media.
