From the Women’s Media Center Progressive Women’s Voices training program:
The Women’s Media Center is a nonprofit media advocacy organization founded by Jane Fonda, Gloria Steinem, and Robin Morgan to make women visible and powerful in the media. The WMC is “changing the conversation” with our Progressive Women’s Voices program by making sure that there are plenty of qualified, authoritative, progressive women experts available to editors, reporters, producers, and bookers. Sadly, despite the numbers of women working in education, we rarely turn on the TV and see a woman – as I’m sure you are well aware. I would love to have a conversation with you about the PWV program, to give you a bit more info and to see if you are interested in applying.
Our first four classes are a truly stellar group, with experts in economics, foreign policy, reproductive rights, environmental issues, racial justice, voting rights, the history of feminism, immigrant communities, outsider cultures, national security, and many more areas of expertise. With our training and help, our PWV women have written Op Eds in the Washington Post and The New York Times, features for Elle and New York magazine, were quoted in USA Today, Forbes, Variety, Mother Jones, the Wall Street Journal, Slate, Salon, The New Republic, the Los Angeles Times, on the Associated Press and Reuters wires, appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, MSNBC, CBS Nightly News, Fox News, ABC News, CNBC, The Tyra Banks Show, PBS’s “To The Contrary,” Bill Moyers, on numerous NPR shows, and in hundreds of other significant media outlets. Full info is available on our program page:

Although I didn’t get accepted during their first round and I’m not available to attend the dates coming up for the second and third sessions this year, I’d urge women who think this might be something they’d love to do to apply or, if you have questions, contact the WMC.
