Mind on the Media is excited to announce the launch of our new website! You will find great information about what you can do to promote healthy body image and expand the definition of beauty!At www.motm.org (www.mindonthemedia.org) you’ll find tools to help you:

We want girls and women to be recognized as leaders of social change, critical thinkers, role models, and acknowledged that their beauty exists independent of negative media stereotypes. Learn some shocking facts about the media, and help us move our community toward acceptance and celebration of the true beauty of women and girls.

Take Action
Through our grassroots campaigns, you can influence the media by being active consumers, protest negative images of women and girls in advertising. In the Turn Beauty Inside Out Action kit, you’ll also find fun ways to get involved, volunteer, coordinate events in your local area, and help spread the news about our organization.

Learn
In our Features section, we will soon hear from guest contributors - influential women that are making a difference. You can discover more about joining our organization and you’ll be able to see exactly why we’ve built Mind on the Media in our “About Us” section. Finally, check back into our new weblog for insights about what’s going on in today’s media, written by our Board of Directors.
