Media’s Role in Combating Antisemitism
The Paley Center for Media has a rich and varied history of presenting events and preserving programs that explore the origins and dangers of antisemitism. Today, amid a troubling rise in antisemitism, we are building on our legacy of impactful programs and continuing to focus on examining media’s powerful shaping influence on this subject. We remain dedicated to examining media's powerful shaping influence in combating the alarming rise in antisemitism. To address this growing crisis, we are hosting a quarterly series of PaleyImpact events and working with leading Jewish organizations and cultural institutions to shine a light on how the media—in all of its forms—can educate, inform, and raise awareness as well as make an impact on this growing crisis.
