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. We also solicit op-eds from activists every week, and distribute them via our wire service to newspapers around the country. Our goal is to support voices that are underrepresented in the mainstream media.
From: "Art-studies from nature, as applied to design," 1872.
