Annenberg School For Communication At The University Of Pennsylvania
The Annenberg School for Communication is the communication school at the University of Pennsylvania. The school was established in 1958 by Wharton School's alum Walter Annenberg as The Annenberg School of Communications. The name was changed to its current title in the late 1980s.
Walter Annenberg described the mission of the school in the following words:
"Every human advancement or reversal can be understood through communication. The right to free communication carries with it responsibility to respect the dignity of others – and this must be recognized as irreversible. Educating students to effectively communicate this message and to be of service to all people is the enduring mission of this school."
Over the years, the school has grown to become the top school for communication in the country, and one of the most prestigious institutions for communication internationally. The current dean of the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania is Michael X. Delli Carpini.
The Annenberg School for Communication is also home to FactCheck, an award-winning nonprofit that monitors the factual accuracy of political statements. Factcheck, and the then Dean of the school, Dr. Kathleen Hall Jamieson, attracted nationwide attention during the 2004 U.S. presidential election.
