The Consumer Advocate is the APOLITICAL,
UNBIASED, and IMPARTIAL organization that
puts the consumer first! We are in existence
to fight for the rights of consumers. Our
purpose is to thoroughly research both sides
of consumer complaints; to provide mediation
and resolution in disputed cases; to
investigate and promote new and small
businesses; to endorse the finest
businesses, and to provide a sounding board
for the average consumer who, often times,
feels like they have no voice.
The purpose of The Consumer Advocate Show is
to find the answers to consumer questions;
address consumer concerns and complaints;
and discuss local, state and national
consumer issues with qualified experts. We
also pledge to work with and promote local
businesses and non-profit agencies, in an
effort to strengthen each community’s
diversity, spirit of cooperation and overall
well-being.
We strive to promote consumer education and
empowerment through our website, e-mail
blasts, sponsored panel discussions, public
forums, and the use of social media like
Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In. We also
use social media in marketing The Consumer
Advocate and encouraging public
participation in our mission.
We work with interns from local colleges and
universities. We feel the experiences they
have with The Consumer Advocate will further
their education in two ways. First, they
will be able to take an active role in the
consumer advocacy process. Secondly, they
will be able to get first-hand experience in
various aspects of Journalism and
Communication by taking consumer complaints,
conducting investigations, writing Consumer
Advocate Reports, and presenting their
findings on The Consumer Advocate Show,
website, and social media sites.
We intend to extend the reach of The
Consumer Advocate to communities across
America, so every consumer has someone
standing up for them. |
