increasingly influential, The Paley Center for Media continues to collect,
preserve, and make available to the public a top-quality collection of radio
and television programs. The Paley Center also strengthens its work as a
center where media
executives, cultural thought leaders, and the public convene to discuss the
challenges and opportunities of a rapidly evolving landscape of media
technologies and businesses. Events and activities at the New York and Los
Angeles locations leverage the collection, offering informative
and entertaining evenings with casts and creative teams of current popular
series, premieres of new and innovative work, and panel discussions that
focus on media as a lens through which we see ourselves and the rest of the
world.
Going forward, the Paley Center will offer more of these discussions to the
public through their redesigned website and through content partnerships
with prominent Internet portals and broadband companies, including Yahoo!
and Comcast, who will offer the content on their websites as well. Users
will be able to access Paley Center events, such as cast discussions with
some of the most recognized award-winning shows in contemporary television
including 24, CSI, The Daily Show, Desperate Housewives, Entourage, Family
Guy, Grey’s Anatomy, House, Law & Order, Lost, Sex and the City, South Park,
