The Media Consortium is a network of leading progressive independent journalism organizations. We're building smart, powerful, and passionate journalism that changes the terms of the American political and cultural debate. We're redefining “independent progressive media” so that it reaches and serves the audience of the 21st century. That means creating a cooperative infrastructure that supports a sustainable future for all of us—and that gets the message out to millions of Americans looking for honest, fair, and accurate journalism.
Making Connections
We're bringing independent progressive media leadership together for the first time in years, to figure out how we can work together to help change the terms of political and cultural debate, to produce the kind of real journalism that's been all but abandoned by the corporate-controlled media, and to build healthy and effective organizations that are in the fight for the long haul.
Building Infrastructure
We're analyzing who reads, watches and listens to our members' work so that we can do a much better job reaching millions more Americans looking for real journalism. We're making joint investments in training, technology sharing, advertising and promotion, and (not least) our own ability to communicate effectively with one another.
Amplifying Our Voice
It's time to do together what we can not do alone - so that we fulfill our role in a democracy as a vibrant, fact-based, community of independent journalism that educates, informs, and, in the end, engages people to act as citizens in creating the world to which we all aspire.
