Welcome

The Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania performs research in the fields of political communication, information and society, media and the developing child, health communication and adolescent risk. The Policy Center's goal is to provide expert analysis that brings these issues into focus.  We build upon the scholarship produced by the Annenberg School for Communication, which is our home.

With offices in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., the Policy Center conducts and disseminates research, hosts lectures and conferences and convenes expert panels to address important questions about the intersection of media, communication and public policy.

To further our mission, we launched this website. It is designed to give scholars, the media and the general public expanded access to the work that we began in 1993. On this site, we make available digests of our research and links to data sets and topline surveys. If there are any questions about materials not posted on the site, please contact our Philadelphia office at the number listed at the bottom of this page, or send an email to kriley@asc.upenn.edu.

Also, we invite you to learn more about the work of the Annenberg Public Policy Center by reading our newsletter, On the Record, available by clicking the On the Record link in our Library below.
