The PPH Mission
People's Production House is a comprehensive media justice organization serving New York City, Washington DC, and the Gulf Coast. Our work combines media creation, media education and media activism, building a new generation of journalists that can both create and demand a media that works in their interest. Through our unique mix of community organizing, education on media policy, and intensive journalism trainings, PPH is transforming the face of the press corps and the media landscape.
We believe a diverse, ethical, and independent media is an essential element of social change and we believe that historically excluded communities must be protagonists in media democracy.
PPH has three major projects: Radio Rootz, which works in public schools and the Community News Production Institute (CNPI), which partners with community organizing groups, and the Digital Expansion Initiative, which works to educate and mobilize New Yorkers about broadband issues. All PPH projects work to build media organizers: media literate people who can create and demand a media that works in their interests.
