A note to our FAIR friends

============================================================

Dear FAIR friends,

Like all of you, we’ve been concerned about family and friends, and we’re checking in with you now. We wish the best for our community of FAIR friends and media activists.

Faced with a crisis unprecedented in our lifetimes, we’re seeing that the flaws we’ve been pointing out in the corporate media system for years are leaving the public with a dangerous dearth of trustworthy information. We hope that the work we’ve been putting out these last few weeks has addressed some of that gap; if you’ve found it useful, we encourage you to spread the word by posting our material on social media and sharing it with your friends via email.

At the top of the email posts you get in your mailbox, there is a line that says, “View article on FAIR’s website.” Go there to see all the option buttons, right under the main photo--to share on Facebook, tweet on Twitter, post on Reddit or send via email. You can even print it out and mail it the old-fashioned way.

Here are just some of our posts from recent weeks:

Best to all,
Janine, Jim, Deborah & Julie
