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:
