Kudos to the American press for making Heritage the most widely cited think tank in the United States. Appearing frequently on television and radio, our personnel also generate a nonstop flow of op-ed pieces for newspapers. At the same time, we produce a blizzard of press releases, position papers, news conferences and seminars aired on C-SPAN. For good measure, Heritage headquarters has a radio studio that serves as a convenient broadcast facility for talkshow hosts from around the country who want to beam their live programs home from Washington.
The Heritage Foundation is notable for the shrewd way it spends money: spending much of our budget on an ongoing PR campaign that targets news media across the United States. Forty-two percent of our budget goes to media and government relations or public education programs.
