The Institute for Public Accuracy is a nonprofit organization that seeks to widen mainstream media exposure for progressive public-policy analysis. It operates as a national consortium of independent researchers, analysts, and activists, partnering with grassroots groups at no cost to help shape public policy discussions. Based in Oakland, California, IPA has established a national presence with offices in San Francisco and Washington, D.C., to support its outreach. IPA maintains updated databases of media producers, commentators, and journalists to facilitate timely, accurate analysis during breaking news. Since the late 1990s, its press releases have highlighted analysts affiliated with more than a thousand organizations across diverse public-policy topics. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in mid-1997 by Norman Solomon.
