Background
National Institute on
Media and the Family
The
National Institute on Media and the Family is a national resource
for research, education and information about the impact of media
on children and families. Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the National
Institute on Media and the Family was created to provide information
about media products and their likely impact on children to parents
and other adults so they can make informed choices.
The mission
of the National Institute on Media and the Family is to maximize
the benefits and minimize the harm of media on children and families
through research and education.
The National
Institute on Media and the Family is a non-profit, non-partisan
and non-sectarian organization. We do not advocate censorship of
any kind. We are committed to partnering with parents and other
caregivers, organizations and corporations in using the power of
the free market to create a healthier media diet for families, so
that we have healthier, less violent communities. We seek to educate
and inform the public, and to encourage practices and policies that
promote positive change in the production and use of mass media.
