'Fenton Communications' is a
public relations firm that was founded by
David Fenton in 1982. They describe themselves as the "largest public interest communications firm in the country",
[1] and maintain offices in
Washington, D.C.,
San Francisco and
New York.
They specialize in public relations for not-for-profit organizations, and state that they do not represent clients that they do not believe in themselves.
1 Their
client list includes organizations associated with a diverse array of social issues, but they are most known for their work with
liberal causes such as
MoveOn.org and
Greenpeace.
Fenton has been criticized by some for "spreading fear" related to some
environmental issues, such as
pesticide control, while having only weak evidence to support their position.
[2]
Fenton Communications is closely allied with
Environmental Media Services.
