Media Outreach
The Human Rights Campaign has participated extensively in public policy discussions and debates on America's airwaves. HRC is often called upon by the media to frame issues affecting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans and to comment on the news of the day. Whether it's explaining the importance of marriage equality or guiding writers and producers through the complicated questions surrounding workplace fairness for LGBT employees, HRC is always ready and willing to serve as an expert witness on the topics that affect LGBT and straight-supportive Americans.
For decades, HRC has been a go-to resource on LGBT issues for TV news, magazines, newspapers and radio shows. HRC spokespeople have appeared on every major TV network, as well as cable news channels including CNN and Fox News. They have been quoted everywhere from The New York Times and Fortune magazine to small-town papers across the country. HRC also works closely with the LGBT media and with non-traditional press outlets, including blogs and other online media.
HRC produces its own daily webcast, as well as frequent public service announcements and advertisements. Each weekday morning, HRC's daily webcast, Equally Speaking, keeps viewers updated on the day's LGBT news. Plus, HRC's many public service announcements, which have appeared in print and online and in radio and television broadcasts, have addressed key topics such as hate crimes, marriage equality, coming out and workplace discrimination.
