Statement
An A.A. web site is a public medium which has the potential for
reaching the broadest possible audience and, therefore, requires
the same safeguards that we use at the level of press, radio and
film.
As our co-founder,
Bill W., wrote: "Public information takes many forms - the simple
sign outside a meeting place that says 'A.A. meeting tonight';
listing in local phone directories; distribution of A.A. literature;
and radio and television shows using sophisticated media techniques.
Whatever the form, it comes down to 'one drunk carrying the message
to another drunk,' whether through personal contact or through
the use of third parties and the media.".
