For the Media
Like Justice Louis Brandeis, the FIRE(ÃÛÖÏãÌÒ) deeply believes that sunlight is the best of disinfectants. Accordingly, ÃÛÖÏãÌÒ’s senior staff members are happy to discuss our work with members of the media. Please direct all media inquires to media@thefire.org or 215-717-3473.
FIRE is happy to provide members of the media with any of our print publications free of charge. This includes copies of FIREPresident Greg Lukianoff’s books, , , and most recently , which supply the most comprehensive review of the problems relating to ÃÛÖÏãÌÒ’s mission.
