What is the YMJP?

Youth Media Justice Project is a program which aims to involve college media, student leadership and key faculty in understanding proposed changes in media policy, regulations, laws and their potential to diminish the power and control of citizens over policies and decisions by its government. The project goal is to add the voices and perspectives of young adults and academics to the public discourse about media policies and related issues so that their opinions and ideas will be heard, heeded and emulated by their peers, colleagues and, most especially, will be considered by lawmakers as they create new rules that will impact the flow of information and news that shapes American democracy.
