Media & Policy Center Foundation Information

MPC was founded by producers Harry Wiland and Dale Bell, whose individual projects have won an Academy Award, five Emmys, one Peabody, two Christophers, two Cine Golden Eagles, among numerous other accolades. Our media produced for PBS, network television, cable, cinemas, and the web reflects Harry’s and Dale’s philosophy: "We formed MPC to apply our talents and experience to issues of social welfare, public policy, education, the environment, and health care. The MPC's primary goal is to inform, challenge, and ultimately engage a responsive citizenry and to encourage full and meaningful debate and participation across the political, social, and economic spectrum. We work towards this end by using our media talents to create televised and coordinated multi-media projects that enlighten, educate and empower those members of our society who seek to change their lives and their communities."
