ASNE on the move
First Amendment project begins
The First Amendment is the cornerstone to many of the freedoms that
Americans often take for granted.
ASNE is participating in a new program this fall to educate not only
Congress and the FCC, but also the American public about the important
role the First Amendment plays in their lives.
The Cornerstone Project has a simple, underlying message: Everyone has
a stake in the First Amendment.
The program will get this message to the public through public
service announcements, media relations efforts and a national symposium.
Broadcast PSA’s with celebrities, talk show appearances, op-ed pieces
and meetings with editorial boards are just a few ways The Cornerstone
Project will spread the word.
The project, operated by The Media Institute, is sponsored by the National
Association of Broadcasters, the Newspaper Association of America, the
American Association of Advertising Agencies and the Magazine Publishers
of America.
ASNE is one of 10 stakeholder groups advising the project.
