The Just Media Project: Cast Your Nominations for Media Policy Innovators Today!

MediaRights.org has a longstanding commitment to support independent media through outreach and educational programs. We consider media policy a vital and pressing issue that affects those who make media as well as those who use it. We are therefore introducing a new project to honor individuals on the frontline of the media policy debate.

The Just Media Project will debut this May as part of MediaRights.org's fourth annual Media That Matters Film Festival (www.mediathatmattersfest.org). At the Festival Awards Ceremony on May 19th we will honor two individuals who have dedicated themselves to defending independent media with the Just Media Lifetime Achievement Award and the Just Media Emerging Leader Award sponsored by Open Society Institute.

MediaRights.org will produce profiles of these individuals and their achievements as well as a media policy action and resource guide to be included on the Festival Web site and DVD.

As a member of the MediaRights.org community, we would like to invite you to participate in the Just Media Project by nominating up to four individuals who you believe should be recognized for their achievements in advocating for democratic media. It will only take a minute, and your input is highly appreciated.

To make your nominations, go to www.mediathatmattersfest.org/justmedia/vote
