Media Training
Tired of the domination of the media by a few large corporations? Do something about it! Grassroots DC students learn to produce short videos and radio segments that educate DC residents about issues relevant to low-income and working class residents. Students are encouraged to use the media to advocate for policies that prioritize human rights over property rights and make the city more welcoming and livable for those of us whose income falls below the median. First priority will be given to low- and moderate-income residents and/or those who advocate on their behalf.
