In the past, fewer members were active with the media; myriad members today are media-connected. So, we must ensure parity for all of our over 75,000 members and the available space simply does not permit us to do so. The Academy does not have editorial or other control over the contents of the referenced Web sites, is not responsible for the opinions expressed by the authors of listed articles and does not endorse any product or service.
