FAIR is the national progressive media watchdog group, challenging corporate media bias, spin and misinformation.

We expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, we believe that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.
