The Peter Jennings Project for Journalists and the Constitution is an annual event hosted by the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia with generous support from the Annenberg Foundation. Its mission is to help professional journalists understand constitutional issues more deeply. It is hoped that through that discovery, the Project participants and, in turn, those who are or will be touched by their work, will see that the constitutional discussion is not limited to the domain of the court system or academic exchange. Instead, constitutionalism reaches into the fabric of daily life.
