How can Northwest Alliance help?

Resource material and speakers: Northwest Alliance for Responsible Media (NW-ARM) has a variety of resource materials of interest to parents, schools and other community members who are concerned about the influence of television and other media on our children. Our publications are for those who are seeking to become media-wise and are available to all the organization's members. The NW-ARM also has a Speaker's Bureau to help groups that want to hold a program on media literacy.

The Department of Communication and Leadership Studies and The School of Professional Studies at Gonzaga University are the home for the Center for Media Literacy Excellence. The Center carries on the work of the Northwest Alliance for Responsible Media.
