Media, Inequality & Change Center

Exploring and redefining the future of media, work, and democracy

Who We Are

The Media Inequality and Change Center (MIC)’s history as a partnership between faculty at the University of Pennsylvania’s Annenberg School for Communication (ASC) and Rutgers University’s School of Communication and Information was instrumental in shaping our values and research agenda. These values include the study and support of democratic media systems that serve community needs. Today, MIC is primarily housed at ASC, continuing to produce engaged research and analysis while collaborating with community leaders to support activist initiatives and policy interventions.

COMPASS

For more than a decade, a consortium of Communication doctoral programs has sponsored a select group of Ph.D. students to spend a summer in Washington, D.C. These COMPASS Summer Fellows have a front row seat to learn about U.S. federal policymaking as they make their own contributions to the policy process through their research and writing.
