Fair Media Council

Celebrating 30 Years

1979-2009

The power of local news is an awesome force.

At its best, news opens the door to the world. It educates, even inspires...and is the first step toward a solution, whatever the issue, wherever the town.

At its worst, news is the problem. Inaccurate coverage creates problems that don't really exist. A lack of coverage enables issues to escalate. When erroneous messages and perceptions are relayed to the public in the press, the news has the incredible ability to close minds.

That's why we're committed to fighting for the best quality local news in the country. With your help, we can continue our 20-plus years of work of advocating for quality local news, which translates into a higher quality of life for you, your family and your business.

The Fair Media Council is the source for everything adults (and kids, too!) need to know about local news. You'll gain a greater understanding of how to participate in the news process, as well as how to expect more out of it. Your support makes us one of the most formidable advocates for quality local news in the nation. (For that, we thank you.)

Be part of the solution. Join us.
And Get Media Savvy....
