Media and Leadership

To promote its public policy goals, the Fund promotes public forums that offer accurate information and open debate. The fund seeks initiatives that will -

• Increase the independence and integrity of mainstream media;
• Empower and build independent, public or alternative media;
• Support independent watchdog initiatives to expose bias, inaccuracy or incompleteness in the news;
• Oppose the aggregation of corporate control over media markets;
• Provide the nation's leaders with truthful and unbiased information about policy options and their consequences for real people, their communities, and the natural world.
