Making Contact
"Making Contact" is produced by International Media Project, an independent, non-profit organization founded in 1994, committed to investigative journalism, in-depth critical analysis, the promotion of civic participation and the dissemination of educational material. Its core focus is National Radio Project, the team that creates Making Contact.
Every week since January of 1995, Making Contact has been bringing you voices and perspectives from the grassroots analysis of the larger structures driving our global economies and solutions being created by people all over the world.
On this special 20th anniversary edition of Making Contact, we hear the story of the program s creation by volunteers, and how this little radio show became part of a new generation of media outlets that continues to both counter the mainstream, and transform our conception of who and what is considered newsworthy.
