International Dialogues for Thought Leaders in Media

The International Dialogues for Thought Leaders in Media honor pathbreakers who- through leadership, courage or innovation-have created outstanding media work supporting positive social change. In creating this program, Images and Voices of Hope recognizes that groundbreaking media work with strong social impact often is the product of an individual or group guided by a clear, internal moral compass. These leaders often need to push professional boundaries. They must challenge the status quo and often make personal sacrifices in order to realize success.

Media professionals selected for this honor participate in a process of dialogue and deconstruction that is designed to extract lessons learned from their success. Our goal is to capture and disseminate these lessons so that others will be inspired and equipped to take on similar challenges. Participants include leaders from the United States and abroad.

We would like to expand this concept in other areas.  We are looking for partners and invite you to contact Judy Rodgers with any suggestions.

The program is made possible by the The Fetzer Institute, with additional support from Rod Beckstrom and Jacqueline Cambata.
