Citizen/Member Outreach

Visitor to a BTP Event
MLP's efforts to engage citizens in a conversation about America's role in the world evolved into the By the People.

An informed and engaged citizenry is essential to our democracy. For over thirty years, The NewsHour has informed American citizens by delivering news with the highest non-partisan journalistic standards. And for the past ten, MacNeil/Lehrer Productions has engaged citizens in the issues affecting their towns and nation and created participatory forums to make their voices heard.

MLP is a leading force in the creation of public forums - some televised, others not - that engage local citizens, elected officials, community groups, the press, educational institutions and government agencies in civic dialogue. Whether the focus is trade agreements, immigration policies, health care or another of the many topics featured at our forums, we exercise the same non-partisan journalistic standards as The NewsHour.

MLP builds participation in its civic engagement projects through earned media and ads in local newspapers, public radio and television, and a full palette of promotional strategies. We measure and report public opinion through scientifically valid focus groups, surveys and polls. And we make citizens' voices heard through talk radio programs, town hall meetings, discussion groups led by expert panels, remote teleconferences and more.

Whether your project includes a traveling museum exhibit, an educational initiative or a town hall meeting, we can build it into the socially transformative experience you envision. We provide all facilities, equipment, panel speakers, event organizing and other services, from conceptualization to cleanup.

Let MacNeil/Lehrer Productions deepen your impact and expand your reach with our extensive experience, cutting-edge technology and historic commitment to the highest professional standards.
