LET'S TALK

Based at USC Annenberg Norman Lear Center, the Media Impact Project provides insights into media’s influence on people's thoughts, attitudes, beliefs and actions. Our research illuminates the social impact of entertainment and news. We share our findings with those who can apply them to their own work: researchers, media makers and news organizations as well as the public. Hollywood, Health & Society, another NLC program, provides free information on health issues to professionals in the entertainment industry.
