The National Credibility Roundtables Project is supported by grants from The Ford Foundation. It is one of several Ford-supported media projects that work to promote on-going communication between the public and the press and to encourage journalists to use what they learn to build better news practices. Other programs include:

RTNDF Ethics Project: The Radio-Television News Directors Foundation conducts sessions that allow viewers to discuss local broadcast coverage and provide training for television journalists in news decision-making. For more information, contact Kathleen Graham, kathyg@rtndf.org or visit, http://www.rtnda.org/ethics/fepcg.shtml

Preview Forum: Roundtable Media Inc. works with community organizations to initiate discussions that involve local journalists and focus on a specific topic, such as ethnicity and race. Participants preview excerpts from current media productions as a starting point for the highly structured conversations.
