The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania
The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania was established in 1994. Through offices in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., it conducts and disseminates research, hosts lectures and conferences and convenes discussions on the critical intersection of media, communication and public policy. Research focuses on questions and issues in political communication, information and society, media and the developing child, health communication and adolescent risk.
The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania has developed such award-winning initiatives as FactCheck.org, a non-partisan website that aims to increase public knowledge and understanding of what is said by major political players in the United States by monitoring the factual accuracy of their dialogue. Another project of the Policy Center is the National Annenberg Election Survey, the nation's largest academic election poll.
The Annenberg Public Policy Center is a Directors' Activity that was initiated under the guidance of Walter Annenberg
