The Berkeley Media Studies Group – we work with community groups, journalists and public health professionals to use the power of the media to advance healthy public policy. In essence, we help people make their voices heard in a powerful public forum, and increase their participation in the democratic process. To do this we must understand how news, entertainment, and advertising present health and social issues. Thus we do research by monitoring the media, studying the process of news gathering, and analyzing media content to support our media advocacy training, professional education, and strategic consultation, Berkeley, CA.

Thunderclap – social media is an easy way to say something, but it's a difficult way to be heard. Thunderclap is the first-ever crowdspeaking platform that helps people be heard by saying something together. It allows a single message to be mass-shared, flash mob-style, so it rises above the noise of your social networks. By boosting the signal at the same time, Thunderclap helps a single person create action and change like never before. You don't need a huge following for a successful Thunderclap. A user with 200 Facebook friends could amplify her message better than someone with 3,000 friends. It all depends on your cause's voice and shareability ~ and how much your friends are engaged. Thunderclap has already reached millions of people. Check out some of the successful projects on our homepage! The beauty of Thunderclap is that it sets the goalposts: one message, one number, one date. It's a common threshold you and your supporters work toward together. It's a tangible way to measure awareness. Read Blog.
