Collections

Quarterly journal of women's studies resources. This guide is
particularly oriented toward connecting Feminists who are Activists to resources
on the Internet which could be of use. I have tried, where available, to connect
people to other indexes about a particular topic of feminism, rather than to
the resources themselves

FAIR
http://www.fair.org/
FAIR, the national media watch group, has been offering well-documented criticism of media bias and censorship since 1986. We work 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, we 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.
