Monroe E. Price

Monroe Edwin Price (born 1938) is Director of the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Global Communication Studies (CGCS) at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of the Stanhope Centre for Communications Policy Research in London.

In the early 1970s, Price was Deputy Director of the Sloan Commission on Cable Communications, an entity which produced the report "On the Cable, The Television of Abundance" (1971).

Price's first scholarly and public interest achievements were in the area of American Indian Law. In the 1970s, he published Law and the American Indian. He also helped found California Indian Legal Services and the Native American Rights Fund. His work coincided with his tenure at the UCLA School of Law, where he was a professor. For much of the decade, he represented Cook Inlet Region, Inc., a Native Corporation established under the Alaska Native Claims Act and served as counsel for Munger, Tolles & Olson in Los Angeles. In the early 1980s, he was the court-appointed referee in Crawford v. Los Angeles Board of Education, the Los Angeles school desegregation case.

He is also the Joseph and Sadie Danciger Professor of Law and Director of the Howard M. Squadron Program in Law, Media and Society at the Cardozo School of Law, where he served as Dean from 1982 to 1991.

Professor Price was founding director of the Program in Comparative Media Law and Policy (PCMLP) at the University of Oxford. In honor of his role, PCMLP created an International Media Media Law Moot Court competition after him, the annual Price Media Law Moot Court. He also established the Center for Media, Data and Society at Central European University. His work on media and the post-1989 transitions included service on the Commission on Radio and Television Policy, established late in the Gorbachev era to bring together Soviet and US professionals and academics working on broadcasting and society.
