### 											Media Co-Ops											

Media Co-Ops provide a small team of broadcasters – typically a reporter and a cameraperson – an opportunity to report on the United States from the United States. Developed through their local U.S. embassies on topics of mutual interest, these co-ops enable broadcasters to travel throughout the country to interview the policymakers, activists, professionals and everyday citizens that will help them tell our story through their lens.
