My name is Janine Jackson. I’m FAIR’s program director, and producer and host of our radio show CounterSpin. We’re in the middle of our year-end fundraiser, with a critical goal of $150,000. We’re about a quarter of the way there.
My favorite thing about working at FAIR and producing CounterSpin, and the reason I'm here after 30 years, is that every day there are folks who are new to the idea that they can and should question what news media tell them, but that doesn't mean giving up on the world. At CounterSpin, we look to highlight people and groups who are doing the very things corporate media say aren’t happening, or couldn’t happen. I think of it as criticism in the service of hope.
Here’s a look back at some recent CounterSpin episodes your contributions have helped create:
Iman Abid on Israeli Genocide
'At Abu Ghraib, There Was a Conspiracy to Torture': Katherine Gallagher on Abu Ghraib Verdict
'MAGA Republicans and Corporate Media Share a Strategy: Fear Sells': Julie Hollar and Jim Naureckas on Placing Blame for Trump
'You See Just How Many Immigrants Are Dying on the Job': Nicole Foy on Immigration and Labor
If I thought our job was just about tearing down, I wouldn't be here. FAIR is about building up: media literacy, critical engagement, and growing spaces for the vital conversations that can lead us forward. We want to keep doing that, but we can’t without community support—and we are grateful for every and anything you can do to support this mission!
With Gratitude,
Janine Jackson CounterSpin producer/host, Program Director
