Media Council Membership

Where Media Leaders Debate and Determine the Future of the Industry

In a media landscape changing at the speed of light, where can you go to distill the challenges and seize the opportunities facing our industry? Established in 2002, the Media Council is the premier forum for top executives to explore the critical issues facing media now. Membership in the Paley Center Media Council is only offered to top-tier executives, ensuring that today’s leaders meet peer-to-peer for candid discussion and a collegial exchange of ideas.

We host over 30 events annually in Los Angeles and New York, attracting speakers across the media landscape—from the corridors of Washington D.C and the studio backlots of Hollywood to the laboratories of Silicon Valley.
