Mission
IAM’s mission is to support local, independent, commercial-free media and arts projects that build community, civic participation and cultural engagement.
Media, journalism, the arts and culture are all arenas of social interaction and civic engagement. Yet even in the Internet era, these arenas are closed to public participation due to commercial or institutional barriers.
We champion those media producers and culture makers who are doing significant work to advance civic engagement and cultural participation in our communities and our democracy.
