"There should be a Fair Media Council

in every town across America."

-Dan Rather

The Fair Media Council advocates, on behalf of the public, for quality local news in the New York metro market. We educate the public in all aspects of news, media and communication so everyone, everywhere can have their voices heard, their stories told and their community made the better for it.

The power of local news is an awesome force.

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.

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.

The Fair Media Council is a 501c3 nonprofit organization, founded in 1979, and comprised of about 200 New York-based businesses who understand quality local news is vital to maintaining the health, well being and vitality of the region in which they live and do business.
