In The Shriver Report, Kennard, Smith and research fellow Amy Granados contributed an insightful essay, Sexy Socialization: Today's media and the next generation of women, on the media’s influence in the lives of women and girls. We also organized focus groups, contributed to outreach and consulted on the research found in the report. 

Under the direction of award winning journalist and media executive Cinny Kennard, CCLP is working to launch a comprehensive program on women and communication leadership that will continue to produce impactful research and offer new training and instructional programs to foster the next generation of women leaders in media and communication. We are actively researching partnerships and sponsors for our training institute and research.
