City of New York - Mayor's Office of Ethnic and Community Media

The MOECM facilitates connections between Ethnic and Community Media outlets, and City agencies, and Mayoral offices; advises the Mayor on communicating information to the public; oversees the Local Law 83 ECM advertising spending requirement; manages the citywide marketing directory, and publishes an annual report on advertising spending by Mayoral Agencies for the Mayor, the Speaker and the public. Ethnic and Community Media outlets are defined as newspapers, websites, and broadcast media outlets that serve communities of people based on factors like native language, race, color, gender, national origin, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability or immigrant status; and target discrete neighborhoods, geographic regions, or populations within the city rather than the city as a whole.
