Connecting the Community with Media - Making a Difference Radio

Since 1989 Community Media Workshop has worked to diversify the voices in news and public debates by providing a unique mix of communications coaching for grassroots, arts and other nonprofit organizations and sourcing grassroots and community news for journalists. Connecting the community with media, the Workshop promotes news that matters in an attempt to ensure a dialogue that portrays society more fully and accurately. Today I'll be joined by President Thom Clark and Pat Drennan of Jane Addams Senior Caucus, a grassroots organization of Chicago-area older adults organizing to build relationships, develop leaders, educate people and create the power necessary for older adults to play a central role in determining their quality of life. Pat will share with us how several years of working with the Workshop has helped JASC tell its story. For more information, visit http://communitymediaworkshop.org and www.seniorcaucus.org.
