Electronic Media Policy
Some recent examples of Electronic Media Policy projects can be found below.


The Listening Project, The Ford Foundation's Electronic Media and Technology Policy Portfolio, of the Knowledge, Creativity & Freedom Program.
To help guide the new Program Officer's strategic grantmaking directions for the Ford Foundation's new portfolio in Electronic Media Policy, OMG assessed the current state of this emerging field. Known as “the Listening Project,” the team conducted interviews and focus groups across the country with grass roots organizers, policy advocates, academics and funders to listen to those working on electronic media policy issues to determine needs, assets, theories of change and critical opportunities. Shared through a final report, and a series of convenings, and conference presentations, the findings catalyzed critical cross sector conversations about the potential for movement building, and assisted the Program Officer with the formation of her grantmaking strategy.

Evaluation of the Electronic Media and Technology Policy Portfolio, The Ford Foundation's Electronic Media and Technology Policy Portfolio, of the Knowledge, Creativity and Freedom Program.
Using the knowledge gained from the Listening Project, OMG was engaged by the Ford Foundation's Electronic Media Policy Program Officer to evaluate the early outcomes of her grantmaking. Using an online survey, in-depth interviews and case studies, the product described how leaders and organizations work on their own and together to make electronic media policy change and the early outcomes and challenges of the grant work.
