Description:
"Currently, the progressive media network is missing both a coordinated messaging system and a self-sustaining network that can funnel ideas from the grassroots, progresive think tanks and the independent media into the mainstream media where national conversations take place." The authors' recommendations include education of funders about how to build progressive infrastructure; cooperation among strategists to develop narrative frames and talking points; coordination between existing and new infrastructure groups; and use of innovative models for participatory information-sharing.
