Silent Treatment: Addiction in America is a national, multi-media public education initiative exploring addiction issues. The centerpiece is a five-part newspaper series distributed free through Knight Ridder/Tribune News Service (KRT) to newspapers across the United States, enhanced by a project Web site, radio and television broadcasting and digital outreach. The project, including the series, is funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF), the nation's largest philanthropy devoted exclusively to health and health care.
The project was conceived, produced and coordinated by Public Access Journalism LLC (PAJ), an independent media company that examines social issues for the public. PAJ is directed by Jane McDonnell, a former KRT managing editor and a journalist with 20 years of experience. The series was written by current and former reporters for Knight Ridder, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. KRT also designed a paginated reprint of the series and was paid a fee for that service by PAJ.
The Breaking the Silence Action Guide, in conjunction with National Recovery Month's Media Guide, is designed to encourage the diverse groups promoting addiction prevention, treatment and recovery to take advantage of the media spotlight created by Silent Treatment. Generating action at the grassroots level is one of the most effective ways to spread key messages in a community. Breaking the Silence Action Guide from the Silent Treatment: Addiction in America initiative includes lots of media tips including a New Media Primer.
Recovery advocate Carrick Forbes from Friends of Recovery Westchester is the project's first blogger.
