The Westminster Media Forum aims to provide the premier environment for policy makers in Parliament, Whitehall and government agencies to engage with key stakeholders. These include industry representatives and their advisors, interest groups, local authorities, the voluntary sector and academia along with representatives of the reporting press.

In planning its programme of events, the Forum consults Parliamentarians, senior departmental officials, regulators, industry representatives and major interest groups.

The Westminster Media Forum is completely impartial and has no policy agenda of its own. While we are grateful for the support and advice on themes that we receive from sponsors, all editorial decisions remain with the Forum in order to maintain impartiality.
