Mission
Media in the Public Interest (MPI) provides news coverage on critical issues that affect the daily lives of people in the United States. MPI ensures multi-platform news content for hard-pressed media outlets and strengthens the nonprofit sector’s capacity to interact effectively with journalists and the changing media landscape overall.
Vision
Our vision is a more just, sustainable and equitable future achieved through a paradigm shift in cultural norms, ultimately leading to policy changes.
Goal
Our goal is to play a meaningful role in leading our country to that future by partnering with nonprofits and others to improve and increase the quality of public interest media. We implement a three-fold strategy to:
- Incubate and sustain innovative media projects that report on social, economic and environmental issues
- Assist journalists in covering the non-profit community
- Support the non-profit sector to interact more effectively with mass media to inform the public and further a broad range of social goals
