Chicago Media Watch
aims to ensure that this region's media remains open, honest and responsive to the people's needs.

We support diverse viewpoints in both local and global media. We encourage activist efforts for increasing corporate media accountability and for citizens to build their own noncommercial media. We also publish a quarterly newsletter, Chicago Media Watch Report, as well as hold conferences and seminars on media analysis and alternative media.

We do not receive advertising, corporate donations or foundation grants. We need your assistance to continue the good work that we do.

As a member, you will receive a print copy of our quarterly newsletter, Chicago Media Watch Report, and reduced admission fees to our conferences and seminars.
