FAIR focuses public awareness on the narrow corporate ownership of the press, the media's allegiance to official agendas, and their insensitivity to women, labor, minorities, and other public interest constituencies. FAIR seeks to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater media pluralism and the inclusion of public interest voices in national debates. Founded with a grant from the Hillman Foundation, the project has evolved to its current state over the course of more than two years. This page, last dated Jannuary 2000, is the online equivalent of the print Yearbook of Experts, Authorities and Spokespersons , an encyclopedia of sources for journalists and broadcasters. The purpose of the yearbook is to provide bona fide interview sources to working members of the media.
Great care is taken in the review and selection of sources for inclusion.
