Training journalists. Informing America.
FAITH. FAMILY. FREEDOM.
The Washington Policy Institute encourages, equips, and empowers journalists
and student journalists to report on the issues that define America.
Faith. Family. Freedom.
PROTECTING AMERICAN VALUES
THROUGH AUTHENTIC JOURNALISM
The media are failing America. As mainstream outlets become increasingly agenda-driven, the Washington Policy Institute stands firm — training and supporting journalists who value integrity, balance, and truth.
We believe faith, family, and freedom are the antidote to elite media culture, and we equip professionals and students alike to tell stories that matter
Our Mission
