Communications Consortium Media Center (CCMC) is a nonprofit public interest organization based in Washington, D.C., founded in 1988 by Kathy Bonk, Henry Griggs, Phil Sparks and Emily Tynes.

Overview
CCMC’s mission is to develop communications strategies for policy change through collaborations around a variety of issues: children, families, work and community; women’s equality; and global population, health and development.

Communications Collaborations for Policy Change
Its website, www.CCMC.org, features three blogs called WeBlog, Reporter’s Notebook, and Tips, Tools, Trainings & Trends, and offers regular advice on communications strategies.

CCMC’s co-founders authored Strategic Communications for Nonprofits: A Step-by-Step Guide to Working with the Media, published by Jossey-Bass as part of their management series. The first edition was published in 1999, and an updated version was printed in 2008.
