Through an innovative combination of a video training, live conference call with a national expert, and small group interactives, the National Media Impact Training will provide participants with the tools for implementing successful earned media events.

The Center for Progressive Leadership Action Network, Democracu for NYC, MoveOn.org, America Votes, People for the American Way, Latinos for Democracy and others are helping progressives gain the skills to shape media coverage of important issues in their communities, including:

* Working with a national organization to reinforce a larger message
* Successfully planning and implementing an event
* Targeting and attracting local media coverage
* Following up and expanding coverage
* Tips for developing long-term relationships with reporters

Each house party is designed for 10 to 25 people. This is a great opportunity for progressives across the country to learn how we can work together to take back the media.
