The IEMC

The Independent Entertainment Media Coalition (IEMC) is a 501 (c) (7) non-profit organization serving the freelance entertainment journalist and media figures. As a member-driven focused network, our members span across mediums including broadcast, audio, print, and digital.

The mission of the IEMC is to share vital financial professional resources, maintain a financial support fund for platform expansion, assist members with career advancement opportunities, create networking opportunities for content curators and mentor aspiring journalists looking to enter the field after graduation.

“I’ve spent years as a journalist covering the underground music scene and the road as a freelancer is tough. Resources are scarce and you quickly find that even with the intense training of higher education you aren’t truly prepared until you are in the field,” says executive director, Flisadam Pointer when speaks on the founding on the IEMC.
