Fact Sheet: Playing the Education Card
To receive a copy of Story Package #3: Playing the Education Card, please contact media@newenglandfutures.org
Editors are free to use the elements of each month's package they select, though the lead article will be critical to set context and tell the major story. Articles may be pared (carefully please!) to fit space. All articles have undergone professional editing.
Project Note: The overarching goal of New England Futures is to serve as "a marketplace of ideas for the future of the region." This phase – media analysis of issues facing New England – is designed to help launch, but operate independently of following stages: (1) a series of citizen dialogues across the six states, and (2) development of regional agenda by a broad cross-section of citizen groups, government, business, educators, and non-profits.
