AZIMUTH MEDIA STAFF
Azimuth Media's mission is to produce and disseminate independent documentaries that investigate and explain vital issues of global security to public audiences worldwide. Azimuth Media believes in-depth documentary examinations, free from government or corporate influence and comprehensible to a general audience, are crucial to fostering public understanding and to informing policymakers. We believe security-related topics merit much greater public exposure and debate than they have traditionally received. Azimuth Media strives to make the topics relevant, comprehensible, and engaging to an international as well as an American audience. . Mr. Baker has produced more than 50 programs broadcast on PBS in the America's Defense Monitor series. Mr. Baker's productions on Cuba, military and the media, weapons marketing, conflict prevention, nuclear weapons, and gun violence have been recognized with national awards. Previously he worked at the National Security Archive, where he was Freedom of Information coordinator and then a research analyst evaluating declassified government documents. Mr. Baker is now co-director of the independent film unit created by CDI in 2001, Azimuth Media, which will produce independent documentaries under the editorial guidance of its own Editorial Board of Advisors. His projects include Missile Wars — a documentary co-production with FRONTLINE.
