The Arizona Media Association is a 501-c(6) non-profit corporation that acts as the official trade association for Arizona’s local radio, TV, print and digital industry. You can reach us via email: ama@azmedia.org.

Our mission is to futureproof community connection by amplifying the unique role local media can play in every Arizona neighborhood. Read about where we focus our efforts here. We also underwrite the Arizona Local News Foundation to connect communities with more local news and information.

Membership includes nearly 400 radio stations, TV stations, newspapers, digital operations and associate groups, built upon the foundations created by the former Arizona Broadcasters Association and Arizona Newspapers Association.
