Influence mainstream media with Collactive

[REPOST from Free Press]

Free Press recently partnered with a few activists to test a new rapid response online tool called Collactive.

It’s really great because it lets people like you inject media reform issues into the mainstream news cycle — and puts important articles and videos before millions of people.

Even in the testing phase, we’ve had huge successes with Collactive, pushing videos to the “most-viewed” page of YouTube and articles to the “most-emailed” list at the New York Times.

Now we’re ready to go beyond testing and offer this tool to the hundreds of thousands of additional activists — like you — who make up the Free Press activist network. Please join our Collactive rapid response team.

Collactive helps us leverage social networking tools on popular news sites — such as the New York Times, Washington Post, and The National — making it possible for important stories to get noticed by more people. It also helps us promote stories from independent media outlets on sites such as YouTube, Digg and StumbleUpon — for thousands more to see.

How does it work? Collactive is a simple add-on for your Web browser that immediately alerts you to important action items, news articles and YouTube videos. It’s easy to use and it won’t clog your e-mail in-box. We promise.

Media reform issues are often buried by mainstream outlets, and they rarely reach the front page. But using social networks, we can reach a bigger audience, build the movement and spread the word.

By becoming a rapid responder, you’ll be joining thousands of media activists who are working together to make our media better.

Thanks for all your help.
