Become a Media Sponsor
MAPLight.org is lean and efficient. With just five full-time staff, we are changing the way the U.S. understands the impact of money on politics. One of the ways we are making such a big difference is through the effective use of media. With a contribution of $1,000 Media Sponsors help us build the organizational systems we need to keep track of our success.
In 2008 we reached millions of Americans with key information illuminating the influence of big-money special interests on elections and laws. Last year MAPLight.org data was cited in:
- 78 radio and TV stories
- 252 print and online news stories
- 1,088 blog posts

Our timely facts gave 655,000 CNN viewers an insight that would not have been possible without MAPLight.org. (click image to see the clip) | |
