When you join the Fair Media Council, you become part of a community of business and community leaders from a variety of industries, including higher education, hospitals and healthcare, accounting and finance, law firms, public relations agencies, and community service organizations. What they have in common? An appreciation of the Fair Media Council’s mission and a desire to improve their communication efforts to their audiences. 

FMC programming brings the news media together with our members for exclusive networking opportunities and events that go behind the scenes in news on the hyperlocal, regional and national levels.

Workshops, created by our Capacity Building & Development Center, provide cutting-edge media relations and communications training and feature speakers who are at the top of their fields. Our workshops are provided at no cost to members.

One of our most popular features of membership is being listed in our online Source Book — a Who’s Who compilation of business and community leaders. The Source Book is designed for the news media to find expert sources to interview, and for podcasters to find guests for their shows.
