What: Exclusive invitation-only gathering of 200+ media influencers, policymakers and corporate and advocacy organization executives at which we will honor media industry luminaries of color and highlight the need for greater diversity in media. The Multicultural Media Correspondents Dinner (MMCD)TM is the signature annual gathering of the Multicultural Media & Correspondents Association (MMCA).
Past honorees have included Cathy Hughes, Dick Parsons, Harris Faulkner, Jamie Foxx, Jenifer Lewis, José Díaz-Balart, Juju Chang, Juan Williams, Lisa Ling, Maria Hinojosa, Paula Madison, Richard Lui, Robert Rodriguez, Soledad O’Brien, Kristen Welker and Tom Joyner. MMCD™ has become a signature Washington, D.C., media event and a powerful platform for facilitating thought leadership, information sharing and strategic engagement.
Why: We are facing a media diversity crisis with serious economic, social and political implications. MMCA has launched a call to action to make this crisis a national priority and is serving as a trusted bridge and convener of stakeholders and advocates committed to moving the needle on media diversity. The MMCDTM is MMCA’s signature annual gathering and a key component of our growing platform to catalyze collective efforts to develop and scale innovation solutions that will increase the percentage on people of color creating, owning, controlling and distributing entertainment and news content. We are proud to have the Multicultural Media & Correspondents Exchange (MMCXchange) as this year’s media partner.
