Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting

Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR), founded in 1986, is a media watch group that works against and documents alleged media bias and erroneous reporting. First published in 1987, Extra!, FAIR's bimonthly magazine, features claims of current media bias, censorship, and effects of media consolidation. Covering a variety of social issues, FAIR addresses news coverage that it finds biased with rebuttals.

In May 2002, Jeff Cohen, FAIR's founder, left the organization to work as a producer on Phil Donahue's short-lived liberal talk show on MSNBC.

FAIR also produces CounterSpin, a half-hour radio program hosted by Janine Jackson, Steve Rendall, and Peter Hart. It broadcasts nationally on over 130 radio stations and is available in MP3 and RealAudio format on the web.
