Accuracy In Media is a non-profit, grassroots citizens watchdog of the news media that critiques botched and bungled news stories and sets the record straight on important issues that have received slanted coverage. Quite frankly, the news media don’t always get their stories right. What’s worse, many of them don’t even seem to care. By advising them of their responsibility to the public, whom they claim to serve, AIM helps to nudge the members of the news media into greater accountability for their actions.

Fairness & Accuracy In Reporting (FAIR), is a national media watch group that has been offering well-documented criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986. Theywork to invigorate the First Amendment by advocating for greater diversity in the press and by scrutinizing media practices that marginalize public interest, minority and dissenting viewpoints. As an anti-censorship organization, they expose neglected news stories and defend working journalists when they are muzzled. As a progressive group, FAIR believes that structural reform is ultimately needed to break up the dominant media conglomerates, establish independent public broadcasting and promote strong non-profit sources of information.

Chicago Media Watch aims to ensure that this region’s media remains open, honest and responsive to the people’s needs.
