The Nation Institute

The Nation Institute

"Founded in 1966, The Nation Institute has a fundamental commitment to the values of free speech and open discourse. The Institute places particular importance on strengthening the independent press in the face of America's increasingly corporate-controlled flow of information, and through its programs the Institute promotes progressive values on a variety of media platforms. The Institute sponsors a number of projects including conferences, investigative journalism, seminars, televised town hall-style meetings, e-mail and web communications, book publishing, film production, fellowships and internships."
