Op-Eds
We founded the Progressive Media Project in 1993 to 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, reach a potential audience of 150 million readers each year, and are regularly picked up by mainstream news sites, including the Chicago Tribune, Newsday, Los Angeles Times, New York Daily News, Houston Chronicle, Minneapolis Star Tribune, Charlottesville Observer, and The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Our goal is to support voices that are underrepresented in the mainstream media.
