The Joy Trip Project is a news gathering and reporting program that covers outdoor recreation, environmental conservation, acts of charitable giving and practices of sustainable living.

The purpose of this project is to raise and maintain awareness for the importance of environmental protection and the participation of all people in outdoor recreation activities and practices of healthy living.

Method:
The Joy Trip Project produces a regularly occurring online audio feature or podcast on topics related to environmental protection and the active lifestyle. Through aggressive reporting and creative storytelling combined with contemporary music the JTP aims to inform, entertain and inspire. The podcast is distributed via Real Simple Syndication (RSS) through audio programming websites such as iTunes and Podcast.com.
The JTP podcast is supported by a comprehensive website with resources and information on how to make healthy lifestyle choices and become actively engaged in political and social actions that preserve wild and natural settings. The Website is strategically linked with a variety of other websites that include those of outdoor retailers, outdoor equipment manufacturers, popular consumer magazines, conservation groups and social networking web sites such as Facebook, Twitter and Linked In.
Audio content developed from the JTP is also made available for distribution through the Public Radio Exchange. National Public Radio stations and news magazines across the country will be able to broadcast prepackaged segments of the project or commission the production of original segments of similar content specific to their editorial needs.
