 ABOUT THE MEDIA GIRAFFE PROJECT

The Media Giraffe Project is a non-partisan research effort of the journalism program at UMass Amherst. We are finding and spotlighting "above-the-crowd" individuals making innovative, sustainable use of media to foster participatory democracy and community. Our online database of "giraffe prospects" has over 320 entries.

We plan a book, and one-hour documentary film for classroom and educational use, which uses "giraffes" as examples to inspire youth and adults to become smarter media consumers and creators. The initiative began in April 2005. For more information see:
