The Media Society is a unique organisation that brings together people who work in all parts of the media. Our objective is to inspire, provoke, surprise, educate and entertain.
We’re a charity, proud of our diverse membership, of which journalists are a significant part. But we’ve got something to offer everyone who has a connection with the media industry.
Our members include high-profile, senior figures and those at the beginning of their careers. Journalists, producers, lawyers, academics, students, PR professionals, business people and consultants from across the UK are all members of The Media Society. It is especially important to us that students partake in the opportunity to meet and interact within our Society.
 
We are at the very heart of what’s happening right now; it’s an Insiders’ forum that examines from every angle today’s emerging media world.
 
What unites us all is a shared enthusiasm for important issues in the media, and the love of good conversation and a drink with people from all parts of the industry. Our focus is to provide the chance to network, learn from and share with not only industry leaders, but those who influence all facets of the communications mix.
Playing a leading role in the wider debate is fundamental to our success. We believe in the impact of the democratic process in communications and in the media today. Our programmes delve into emerging trends, from law to PR to new media and across all aspects of the media landscape.
Don’t wait, come to one of our events. Check out our regular debates, meetings and informal receptions. Come and find out who we are and what we’re all about. We would love to have you join!
