The Center’s ongoing funding is sourced primarily from an endowment provided by the Annenberg Foundation.
APPC is known for its significant contributions in several research areas including political communication, media and children’s welfare, health communication, and adolescent risk. Among its prominent projects, FactCheck.org is particularly noteworthy. Launched in 2003, this non-partisan platform aims to reduce misinformation in U.S. politics by verifying the accuracy of various claims made by politicians and media figures (Wikipedia) (Annenberg Policy Center) (Annenberg Policy Center).
The Center also runs educational and capacity-building programs through platforms like Annenberg Classroom and the Civics Renewal Network, which provide resources and tools for educators and students to enhance civics education (Annenberg Policy Center). Moreover, its Climate Communication Division is dedicated to research and outreach on climate science communication strategies, emphasizing both local initiatives and global policies (Annenberg Policy Center).
