The new blog NAR in the News published by The National Assn. of REALTORS® is off to a good start.
"News coverage shapes perceptions of people, organizations and entire industries. Yet few of us understand what goes into the making of a news story. “NAR in the News” will give its readers a peek behind the scenes into how journalists cover the nation’s largest trade association and the 1.2 million REALTORS® it represents.
"This blog is also a place for REALTORS® and others to express their opinions and ask questions that we will try to answer. “NAR in the News” is produced by NAR’s Public Affairs Division."
A recent post about FSBO sales vs.REALTOR® assisted sales contains a series of comments that reflect a high degree of skepticism about the information gathering process at NAR. It invites a healthy exchange of dialogue. Let's hope this policy endures.
It will be very interesting to see if NAR uses this blog as an open and honest distributor of information, or as a propoganda and posturing platform for the NAR.

The NAR blog usually provides pretty un-biased information. The only time that I have found a possible alternative agenda with their posts is when the discussion turns to discount online real estate.
