the media research center 2017 gala

What:The Media Research Center Gala is a one-of-a-kind, star-studded event in our nation’s capital. Featuring prominent politicians, pundits, and television and radio hosts, the Gala draws a Who’s Who of the con-servative movement. Join us this year, as we travel back in time to the year 1930, at the National Building Museum Speakeasy, and help us celebrate 30 years of the Media Research Center’s history of making life miserable for liberals in the media. It will be a night you won’t want to miss!

Audience:Nearly 1,000 infl uential political professionals, community insiders, and philanthropic donors who believe in combating media bias. The demographics range in age, gender, ethnicity, and fi nancial infl uence. Although this is a live event, it is provided in a live feed format through our website and available to replay.

Sponsorship Opportunities:There are multiple levels of sponsorship available, along with the ability to customize those levels to meet the needs of our diverse audience and sponsors.

About the Media Research Center:Since 1987, the Media Research Center (MRC) has been the nation’s premier media watchdog. We don’t endorse politicians, and we don’t lobby for legislation. MRC’s sole mission is to expose and neutralize the propaganda arm of the Left: the national news media. This makes the MRC’s work unique within the conservative movement. The Media Research Center’s unwavering commitment to neutralizing left-wing bias in the news media and popular culture has infl uenced how millions of Americans perceive “so-called” objective reporting. Integrating cutting-edge news monitoring capabilities with a sophisti-cated marketing operation, MRC reaches more than 200 million Americans each week to educate them about left-wing bias in the media. The Media Research Center is a research and education organization operating under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are tax-deductible to the maximum extent of the law. The MRC receives no government grants or contracts nor do we have an endowment. We raise our funds each year from individuals, foundations, and corporations.
