Advocacy for Democratic Communications

aka Media Alliance   |   San Francisco, CA   |  http://www.media-alliance.org

Mission

MA was founded in 1976 with the belief that in order to ensure the free and unfettered flow of information and ideas necessary to maintain a truly democratic society, media must be accessible, accountable, decentralized, representative of society's diversity, and free from overt or covert government control and corporate dominance. MA dedicates itself to fostering a genuine diversity of media voices and perspectives, holding the media accountable for their impact on society, and protecting freedom of speech.
