What it Means to be a Part of Media Coalition

 

Media Coalition has been the leading organization in challenging unconstitutional laws and fighting against ill-advised legislation that affects how content is produced, distributed, or sold since 1973.  By combining resources, Media Coalition affords members the highest quality legal, legislative, and information services at a reasonable cost. 

 

Mission:

Media Coalition exists to protect and promote the free marketplace of ideas through united action on legislative and legal advocacy, research, and education by those who create, produce, and disseminate constitutionally protected expression in all media. Its vision is of a pulbic that values the freedom of expression guaranteed by the First Amendment and whose lives are enhanced by unfettered access to diverse media sources that provide the widest possible range of views and opinions.

History:

Media Coalition was founded in 1973 when trade associations representing the book, magazine, and movie industries recognized the need for a concerted effort in response to the Supreme Court’s decision in Miller v. California creating variable obscenity as determined by local community standards. Since then, Media Coalition has broadened its mission to include the defense of all types of media and all manners of distribution.

 

Participation:

 Members: Membership is open to trade associations. Trade association members are entitled to appoint a representative to participate in the policy meetings that determine the activities of the coalition.

 Supporters: Companies and other non-trade associations are invited to become supporters. Each supporter is entitled to send a representative to attend the monthly meeting.

 

Legislative and legal advocacy, research, and information-sharing for those who create, produce, and disseminate constitutionally protected expression in all media.
