FBC Media
FBC Media Limited (initials for FactBased Communications) is a media and public relations company based in London currently under administration. It specializes in television content creation, production and distribution〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fbcmedia.com/ )〕 and global communication campaigns on behalf of governments, non-governmental organizations and other companies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sternstewartinstitute.com/en/about_the_stern_stewart_institute/board_members/john_defterios/ )〕 FBC was incorporated in 1998 and had offices in London, Mumbai and Rome. Among its key figures were its founder and chairman, Alan Friedman, and president John Defterios, currently a presenter on CNN.〔
FBC produced ''World Business'' on CNBC which won a Grand Prix Award in Europe for best global business and financial program.〔 It also produced ''One Square Mile'' and ''Develop or Die'', which featured reports from developing nations, on BBC World News.〔
==Scandal==
In August 2011, the Sarawak Report blog, named after the state in Malaysia, reported that FBC Media was doubling as a public relations firm for Malaysian politicians. It suggested that the company carried puff pieces about Sarawak Chief Minister Abdul Taib Mahmud in shows that it produced. Sarawak Report is edited by Clare Rewcastle Brown who alleges that Taib and his family have profited from logging Sarawak's rainforests.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sarawakreport.org/about/ )〕 Malaysian budget records showed FBC received RM58 million to conduct a "Global Strategic Communications Campaign" for the government of Malaysia. The Malaysian government paid out a further RM42 million to FBC in 2010. Between 2009 and 2011, FBC-produced programmes ''One Square Mile'' and ''Develop or Die'' featured reports from Sarawak criticising environmentalists who oppose logging and palm oil plantations in the state.〔
An investigation by ''The Independent'' further revealed that Microsoft had contracted FBC to provide similar media coverage. Sarawak Report also claimed that the government of Kazakhstan benefited from FBC's services when Prime Minister Karim Massimov was interviewed by John Defterios on CNN during the World Economic Forum in January 2011.
