The Coalition for Independent Ratings Services

is a non-profit organization that promotes independent ratings services.  We believe is crucial that the groups rating the movies, TV, video games, etc are not the same ones who are trying to sell those products to you.  Since they don't have a financial interest in any particular product, independent ratings providers can be much more objective.


The goal of this site is to be a "one-stop shop" for everything related to independent ratings systems and services.

Welcoming Mr. Waldman to Washington
Coalition Blog
Thursday, 29 October 2009 08:24

Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski announced the appointment of Steven Waldman, Co-Founder, President, and Editor-in-Chief of Beliefnet.com, to lead an agency-wide initiative to assess the state of media in these challenging economic times and make recommendations designed to ensure a vibrant media landscape.

The Coalition welcomes Mr. Waldman and offers one simple piece of advice.  To paraphrase FCC commissioner Baker - the status quo for proteching children in the current media environment is not an option.  Parents are simply overwhelmed.  We have to identify easy-to-use solutions that use better tools.  There is much more to be said.  But, hey, it your first day on the job!
