PMC is developing a number of initiatives to reach the American public with information and motivational communications on population and reproductive health issues.
Among these is distribution of frequent news articles and editorials about population issues to a global list of population-concerned individuals and institutions. This email service has generated a flood of letters reacting to both negative and positive statements by political leaders, the news media, environmental leaders and others. Individuals can sign up for the mailing list any time.
In May 2007, PMC held the Entertainment-Public Health Summit to bring together entertainment industry leaders and public health professionals for the purpose of creating dialogue and an ongoing mechanism for regular and speedy input by the public health community into entertainment programs on reproductive health and other health concerns.
