“The Paley Center for Media has a strong and respected tradition of
interpreting the role media plays in shaping opinions, trends, ideas, as well
as celebrating the best in television and radio programs through our screenings
and conversations with the creative teams behind the hits and groundbreaking
formats,” said Pat Mitchell, president and chief executive officer of the Paley
Center. “Our partnership with Yahoo! TV—which will make our events with media
leaders and creators available on demand—means that we can share our expertise
and ability to convene the top names in the industry with media enthusiasts and
consumers far beyond those who walk through our doors.”
“Yahoo! TV is
thrilled for the opportunity to highlight the vast history of The Paley Center
for Media and their invaluable programs,” said Karin Gilford, general
manager of Entertainment for Yahoo!. “It
is an honor to help pay homage to the legacy of so many great television
performers, writers, directors, and producers through the Paley Center.”
The Paley
Center for Media, with locations in New York and Los
Angeles, leads the discussion about the cultural,
creative, and social significance of television, radio, and emerging platforms
for the professional community and media-interested public. Drawing upon its
curatorial expertise, an international collection, and close relationships with
the leaders of the media community, the Paley Center
examines the intersections between media and society. The general public can
access the collection and participate in programs that explore and celebrate
the creativity, the innovations, the personalities, and the leaders who are
shaping media. Through the global programs of its Media Council and International
Council, the Paley
Center also serves as a
neutral setting where media professionals can engage in discussion and debate
about the evolving media landscape. Previously known as The Museum of
