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.

On December 15, 2009, the Federal Trade Commission will host a forum to address the entertainment industries’ marketing of junk food towards children.  The FTC’s web site reports that “Sizing Up Food Marketing and Childhood Obesity” will be held to discuss the impact of junk food advertising on children and the media’s progress towards self-regulation.  

In addition to discussions by researchers, scholars, and advocacy group representatives, the Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children, says the FTC, “will report on the status of recommended nutritional standards for foods marketed to children.”

The public is welcome to attend this free event. For more information, see the FTC’s web site.
