Welcome to Josh Silver

I'm very pleased to announce that Josh Silver has joined our board. As founder and Director of Free Press, a nationally-respected media reform organization (www.freepress.net), Josh brings a great deal of experience and savvy to the C3 leadership team.

Josh co-founded Free Press with Robert W. McChesney and John Nichols in 2002. As Free Press Executive Director, he oversees all programs, campaigns, fundraising and special projects. Josh previously served as campaign manager for the successful statewide ballot initiative for public funding of elections in Arizona and as the director of development for the cultural arm of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington. He has served as the director of an international youth exchange program and as a development and management consultant. Josh publishes frequently on media, campaign finance and other public policy issues. He attended the University of Grenoble, France, and Evergreen State College in Olympia, Wash.

I'm very excited to have Josh join the C3 board at this important juncture in our development. His experience and know how will be incredible assets as we work to open our Nonprofit Center in the coming year. To learn more about Josh and Free Press, check out this article in the Wall Street Journal and this one from the Broadcasting and Cable website.

Welcome Josh!
