An invitation from the
National Women's Editorial Forum
"Building Women’s Presence in the Commentary Continuum"
When was the last time you heard your point of view come through your radio speaker? When did you last see a commentary by a woman like you on the opinion page of your local newspaper? Chances are, not lately.
Learn how to lead in the media!
You belong on radio, television
and in the opinion pages of the nation's newspapers!
Viewing media through a gender lens, learn how to make yourself heard in the debates of the day.
The National Women's Editorial Forum (a project of American Forum), together with the American University Women & Politics Institute, invites you to take your place in the commentary continuum. Apply to be one of 25 participants in the National Women's Editorial Forum Media training, a three-day intensive networking and training event taking place at American University in Washington, DC. Meet women leaders from the worlds of journalism and activism. Get hands-on training for bringing your organization and views to the forefront of public debate.
As a participant in this training, you will learn to:
 Write a Winning Op-Ed
Create a media strategy for advancing your cause
Learn how to utilize "new media" (blogging, television, editorial cartoons, etc.)
Fine-tune your public speaking and interviewing skills
Put together a successful radio commentary and public service announcement
Your presence in your local media, advocating for the issues important to you, will keep the heat on your state legislators, as well as your senators and representatives in the nation's capital.
Come join us!
Here's what can happen once you learn these skills. Meet Sui Lang Panoke, who took part in an American Forum media training.
