Who is responsible for the publicity about A.A.?
The A.A. tradition of public relations has always been keyed to attraction rather than promotion. A.A. never seeks publicity but always cooperates fully with responsible representatives of press, radio, television, motion pictures, and other media that seek information about the recovery program. At national and international levels, news of A.A. is made available by the Public Information Committee of the General Service Board. Local committees have also been organized, to provide the media with facts about A.A. as a resource for alcoholics in their communities. A.A. is deeply grateful to all its friends who have been responsible for the recognition accorded the movement. It is also deeply aware of the fact that the anonymity of members, upon which the program is so dependent, has been respected so faithfully by all media. It should also be noted that within A.A., at A.A. meetings and among themselves, A.A. members are not anonymous.
