Morality in Media

Morality in Media, Inc. (MIM), now known as the National Center on Sexual Exploitation, is an American, non-profit organization that was established in New York in 1962. MIM seeks to raise awareness about what they regard as the harms of pornography and other forms of obscenity to individuals, families and society. MIM also works through constitutional means to curb traffic in material they consider obscene and uphold what they view as Judeo-Christian standards of decency in media. The president is Patrick A. Trueman, who is a registered federal lobbyist.

History

MIM was launched by an interfaith group of clergy in the Upper East Side of Manhattan (NYC) in 1962 after grade school children were caught with hardcore pornography. MIM was first formed by Father Morton A. Hill, Rabbi Julius Neumann, and Rev. Robert Wiltenburg (a Lutheran pastor) as a neighborhood organization under the name Operation Yorkville. They were soon joined by Rev. Constantine Volaitis of the Greek Orthodox Church.
