Open MIC is a non-profit organization working to foster vibrant and diverse media through market-based solutions.
Our primary tool is shareholder engagement. We promote values of openness, equity, privacy, and diversity – values that we believe provide long-term benefits for companies, the economy and the health of democratic society.
Open MIC believes shareholders have a right and responsibility to add their voices to discussions affecting both traditional and emerging media forms. We aim to deploy the collective power of investment management and advisory firms, mutual fund companies, foundations, pension funds and advocacy groups to help shape corporate media policies and practices.
Issues
Open MIC has joined a coalition of fourteen civil rights, media justice, and tech policy and privacy organizations in signing a letter urging the Department of Justice to protect consumers by rejecting the proposed AT&T-Time Warner merger. Specifically, the letter cites the major threats to innovation and pro-consumer competition posed by the merger.
