Accuracy In Media (AIM) is an American non-profit news media watchdog founded in 1969 by economist Reed Irvine. AIM describes itself as "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." It has been described as having a politically conservative stance.〔 * "Follow-Up: Interview With Accuracy in Media Editor Cliff Kincaid", ''The O'Reilly Factor'', Fox News, February 8, 2005.

The two sent letters to the editors of many newspapers and magazines they identified as skewed, calling out slanted news stories. If the newspaper rejected the letter, AIM bought space and printed the letter in that newspaper. Beginning in 1975, Accuracy In Media began purchasing stock in major media companies, allowing Irvine to attend annual shareholder meetings. He used these opportunities to express AIM's concerns to the various companies' owners. Reed's son, Don, chairs the organization. Don Irvine referred to his father as a "die-hard anti-communist."〔(Obituary of Reed Irvine, 82 ), washingtonpost.com, November 18, 2004.〕 In 1972, Accuracy In Media began publishing the'' AIM Report'', a twice-monthly newsletter originally edited by Reed Irvine. Cliff Kincaid and Roger Aronoff, AIM Senior Editor and AIM Executive Secretary and Media Analyst, respectively, continue to handle the publication, as well as daily online updates. The'' AIM Report'' often calls on its subscribers to contact newsmakers, reporters and news corporations to end perceived liberal media bias. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Accuracy in Media」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
