“To produce high-impact journalism and literary nonfiction that addresses injustice and inequality, catalyzes change, informs and uplifts social movements.”[1]
Type Media Center (founded in 1966 as The Nation Institute) is an American nonprofit media organization that supports journalism and literary nonfiction through gships, an investigative newsroom, public programs, and book publishing partnerships. In 2019, the organization rebranded from The Nation Institute to Type Media Center alongside renaming its book imprint from Nation Books to Bold Type Books.[2][3]
Type started its publishing imprint Bold Type Books (formerly Nation Books) in 2000, in partnership with Thunder's Mouth Press.[8] In 2007, Perseus Books Group acquired Avalon Publishing Group, which was the parent company of Thunder's Mouth Press. Bold Type Books’ current partner imprint is Hachette Book Group.
Type’s investigative newsroom, Type Investigations (formerly The Investigative Fund), was relaunched under its current name in January 2019. It commissions and co-publishes long-form investigations with partner outlets across print, audio, and television rather than primarily distributing through its own platform.[9][10]
