Our Mission

For over 45 years, we’ve studied the content and character of the news, while playing a critical role in the ecosystem to protect the public’s right to know. Our history uniquely qualifies us to understand today’s rapidly changing media landscape and its impact on society. The public relies on us to educate them about these changes. The media relies on us to keep them relevant. 

The Fair Media Council is one of the oldest, most successful media watchdogs in the country. We advocate for quality news and prioritize keeping local news local.  Creating a media-savvy society that can successfully navigate today’s complicated media landscape is a growing part of our mission. 

FMC is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered on Long Island, N.Y., inside the No. 1 media market in the world.

Our programming takes you inside the news, so you can gain greater insight into current events and how news decisions are made and build relationships with the news media. In addition, we offer tools, resources and valuable connections when you become part of our community.
