N Printed in the U.S.A. ot long ago a group of values-minded professionals from different media organizations envisioned a one-stop website that would host a collection of entertainment reviews, news, and other information designed to help families easily identify the latest fun, wholesome entertainment options. Together they created the Family Entertainment Association in 2007. The newly formed Family Entertainment Association acted quickly to create the Family Entertainment Central. org (FEC) website that same year. FEC acts as an aggregator of free reviews, news, and commentary about the latest entertainment industry releases, studies, and trends. The partners continually work to populate the website with reviews and other information that reflects their areas of expertise. FEC provides easy access to in-depth information for current entertainment media including movies, DVDs, electronic games, and television. In addition to providing free entertainment reviews, news, features, and analysis of the entertainment industry from a family perspective, FEC offers a wide array of benefits to registered members. Members pay a small annual fee of $19.95 to qualify for a variety of entertainment and product discounts. In some cases, the cost of membership may be recouped the first time a member redeems the available discounts. Our friends at Christian Entertainment Review have published this special edition of their magazine as a way of welcoming new members to FEC by giving them some background information about us and our partners. We encourage you to take some time to read about our partner organizations and we want to thank The Dove Foundation, Parents Television Council and Plain Games for working together to create this resource for discerning families. We also want to thank the many companies who have chosen to support our initiative by providing exclusive discounts on their products and services to FEC members. Their willingness to acknowledge your desire to uphold family values in entertainment is a testament to their true nature and we hope you will support the cause further by taking advantage of the discount offers they make through our website. For years families have wanted to take a stand against entertainment that mocks their beliefs and undermines parents’ influence in their own homes. Now, you have a way to join a movement that is making a difference in Hollywood! Thank you for supporting family values in entertainment!
