Finding news you can trust and believe has never been harder, and the ramifications for our democracy have never been stronger.

Luckily, the Fair Media Council is here to help, and invites your organization to become a member of FMC today. By doing so, you not only support FMC's exclusive mission, you strengthen society while enjoying benefits to help you become part of the public conversation.

Unlike any organization in the country, the Fair Media Council advocates for quality news and works to create a media-savvy society. Based on Long Island, FMC spans the New York metro area, working with local and national media to address news issues. Demystifying media and the news process for the public is a vital element of FMC's work. Exclusive opportunities for open dialogue with news media, original commentary and stories tailored to understanding today's complicated media landscape and tips for navigating the news are among the many ways we work to educate and enlighten.

While FMC educates, it also provides exclusive opportunities for organizations to heighten their brand awareness, marketing and promotion. Among the member benefits, in addition to supporting the work of FMC to advocate for quality news in an era marked by fake news, are the following:
