Join Tracy Van Slyke, co-author of "Beyond The Echo Chamber: Reshaping Politics Through Networked Progressive Media" (2010, The New Press) for a dynamic discussion about how media makers can successfully influence the political debate in a networked media environment. Van Slyke will share the lessons of how progressive media outlets ranging from Talking Points Memo to Firedoglake to Brave New films drove stories into the mainstream, raised hundreds of thousands of dollars into the campaign process, and changed the course of the 2008 presidential election.

Van Slyke is the co-author of Beyond The Echo Chamber: Reshaping Politics Through Networked Progressive Media and the director of The Media Consortium, a network of the leading, progressive media outlets in the country including Mother Jones, The Nation, LinkTV, AlterNet and more. In March 2010, she was named one of the 30 Women Making History by the Women's Media Center.

Co-Sponsored by the Media & Communications PIC, Gov 2.0 PIC, and The Progressive Caucus.
