soolara - HUMAN RIGHTS MEDIA ADVOCACY: LEADERSHIP PANEL: Blending strategic media with advocacy campaigns has fueled social change for decades. More than ever before, small grassroots groups and international organizations alike can influence policy debates and steer the course of unfolding events by instantly communicating with highly targeted audiences or millions worldwide. In this panel, leaders of some of the most effective human rights advocacy organizations share their strategies and discuss the value of new communications tools. They will highlight successful campaigns and share cautionary tales about the urge to adopt new media. Panelists will also address how activists and researchers can get the attention of "new" media as traditional forms of journalism feel the pressure of profitability.
