The Media Institute is a
nonprofit research foundation specializing in communications policy and First
Amendment issues. The Institute
exists to advocate and encourage freedom of speech, a competitive
communications industry, and excellence in journalism.
Founded in 1979, The Media Institute pursues a program agenda that
encompasses virtually all sectors of the media, ranging from traditional
print, broadcast, and cable outlets to contemporary entrants such as satellite
broadcasters and the Internet.
The Institute publishes books and monographs, prepares regulatory
filings and court briefs, convenes conferences, and sponsors a luncheon series
in Washington for journalists and communications executives.
The Institute’s Cornerstone
Project, launched in October 2000, is a major three-year program
celebrating the First Amendment.
Since its inception, the Institute has been an independent advocate of
a robust press and a dynamic communications industry.
The organization has evolved into one of the country’s leading
“think tanks” focusing on the First Amendment and communications policy.
