Our Media Justice Fund panel have identified the new Media Justice Grantees for 2007/2008. They are:

Center for Urban Pedagogy - $10,000
Media Justice Fund Toolkit
The national debate on broadband and internet access is starkly divided between those who understand the technology and those who will be most affected by unequal access. CUP's Internet Infrastructure Project will produce a series of tools that explain bandwidth, usage, infrastructure, ownership, and net neutrality.

Global Action Project - $10,000
Community Media Collaboration
Young people—equipped with knowledge, tools, and community relationships—can be a strong force for local and international change. By supporting young people's ability to make media and fostering young people's engagement with community justice movements through their Community Media in Action, GAP furthers the organizing work of local community-based organizations.

NYC Grassroots Media Coalition - $7,450
Community Media Collaboration
Media democracy requires the full participation of community members. Building on the success of the 2008 NYC Grassroots Media Conference, the citywide members of the NYC Grassroots Media Coalition will strengthen the broader NYC media justice movement by launching a visioning series that will result in strategies to engage others in media justice work.

The three members of this year's Media Justice Panel were Betty Yu, Denisse Andrade, and Mitch Jeserich.
