   Fair Observer

   Aug 2010 — Present · US, IN

   Fair Observer is an independent, nonprofit media organization that has been granted section 501(c)(3) status in the United States. Our mission is to inform and educate global citizens of today and tomorrow. We focus on the deeper issues behind the news, provide context and bring together different perspectives — cutting across borders, backgrounds and beliefs — and provide a 360° view to help our audience make sense of the world.Our premise is that everyone has a bias and all of us have blindsides, but when we come together, we have a better approximation of the truth. Therefore, we bring long-ignored voices and narratives into the global mainstream media. We have more than 2,300 contributors from nearly 90 countries, including a 68-year old former prime minister in Ireland and a 16-year old student in Gaza. Increasingly, we are working with students in universities, colleges and high schools to educate them about the great issues of our time, as well as train them to be better journalists, analysts and writers chronicling our times.
