About the Fair Media Council
According to their website, “Since 1979, Fair Media Council has worked at the intersection of news, community, and public trust — focusing on keeping local news local and monitoring how media systems and content evolve while helping organizations engage with them responsibly and effectively.
Unlike traditional media training programs, FMC focuses on both media accountability and applied media literacy, giving participants a rare understanding of how editorial systems, digital platforms, and public narratives shape what becomes visible and influential.
Our programs don’t teach shortcuts. They teach how media ecosystems actually work — so organizations can move from local recognition to broader relevance.”
Bottom line, they help us better understand how to get our messages out, what good journalism means, and why it’s so important. The Fair Media Council advocates for the fundamental importance of LOCAL news, while connecting Long Island with some of the best in the business. It’s all about understanding the rapidly evolving media landscape as a whole, and how we might best engage. Learn more here.
