The Paley Center for Media

About The Paley Center for Media

The Paley Center for Media sits on West 52nd Street in Midtown Manhattan, a short walk from the theater district. Founded in 1975, it operates as a public-facing media institution with an archive-driven focus on television, radio, and newer screen platforms. Programs tend to center on screenings, creator conversations, and industry panels that treat entertainment as a record of cultural and social change. The building’s smaller theaters and reading areas keep the experience intimate, closer to a study hall than a red carpet.
