Center for the Study of Popular Culture

THE CENTER’S MISSION


The Center for the Study of Popular Culture, now in its second decade of activity, is dedicated to defending the cultural foundations of a free society, a task made even more pressing by the attack on America of September 11th, the Iraq conflict and the internal opponents of freedom this attack has revealed. The Center is led by its President, David Horowitz a man who has been called “the left’s most brilliant and articulate nemesis,” who is suited both by experience and dedication to the task at hand.

Today the Center has 40,000 contributing supporters and an online journal, FrontPage Magazine, which is visited 1.7 million times a month and is linked to 2,064 other websites according to the web rating service, Alexa.com. In the last year alone, the Center has distributed half a million books and pamphlets on the war on terror, the Middle East crisis and the anti-American left. In the same interval, its principal, David Horowitz has presented the Center’s message on more than 500 radio and TV programs reaching tens of millions of Americans. He has spoken on over thirty-five college campuses addressing between 300 and 1200 students at each stop and generating major attention from local and campus media. These appearances have helped the Center build a campus network across the country, which has facilitated the distribution of its literature and built the audience for its website. In addition the Center has placed ads about the so-called peace movement in more than 50 college newspapers with a combined circulation of well over 500,000 educated readers. David Horowitz has continued to point out the political bias on the university campuses and his theme has been, “You can’t get a good education if they’re only telling you half the story.”
