30 Years and Counting


Over the last thirty years, the Maynard Institute has literally changed the face of the news media. Our graduates - now more than one thousand multicultural journalists and media managers throughout the country - have led their news organizations and the industry in producing coverage that accurately and fairly portrays the interests and concerns of all segments of our society. As the news industry evolves, culturally competent leadership has never been more crucial. By donating to the Maynard Institute you are nurturing the growth of this leadership, which will in turn continue to work for fair and accurate news coverage for all of our country's citizens.
