The Center for Media and Democracy (CMD) operates as a national watchdog focused on investigating corruption and the influence of corporations on media and democracy. Its in-depth reporting has been cited by major national and state newspapers and has appeared on prominent broadcast and public media programs. CMD also runs online resources such as PRWatch and SourceWatch, and hosts ALECexposed.org to document corporate-funded front groups and the policy influence they exert. Based in Madison, Wisconsin, the organization is led by Lisa Graves, a former Deputy Assistant Attorney General at the U.S. Department of Justice and former Chief Counsel for Nominations for the chair of the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee. In recent years CMD expanded its public-facing scope with the launch of SFOF Exposed websites to illuminate the connections between the right-wing funder network and ALEC and related initiatives.
