Data Consortium
The Data Consortium for Media and Communications Policy works to improve access to datasets used in media and communications policymaking--including especially commercial datasets, which have become primary inputs into media and communications policymaking. More information....
Mapping Datasets
This community-editable database addresses the lack of systematic information about media and communications datasets, including their research uses and terms of access. We welcome your help in developing descriptions of and commentary on datasets. You may also choose to make your own data more widely available by creating a new dataset profile and uploading a record (20MB max).
