Atul Singh

Atul Singh is the Founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Fair Observer. He practiced as a lawyer in London, performed counter-insurgency operations in India’s border regions and has been a geopolitical analyst of note for many years. He was ahead of the curve on Brexit, the rise of Donald Trump and other key trends.

Here are some logistical details:

  • Drop in anytime from 6:00 to 9:00 PM
  • Have all-you-can-eat taco buffet for just $8 plus taxes (note that the taco bar ends at 7:30 PM; the restaurant menu and the paid bar will be available till 9:00 PM)
  • Wear informal attire
  • Remember the address is 529 14th St NW, Washington, DC (near the White House and close to the Metro Center Station >>> enter using the 14th Street entrance and come up to the 13th floor)
  • Parking garage is at 1325 G Street, NW (you can validate your parking ticket with $35+ purchase)
  • Ask for Atul Singh when you get to the 13th floor (the National Press Club will only let you in with the host)

In an era dominated by echo chambers, polarization and misinformation, Fair Observer provides voices from over 90 countries a platform to share fact-based, well-reasoned perspectives. We believe that democracy is in crisis partly because journalism is in crisis. We believe that the response is bottom-up, not top-down and community-driven.

Fair Observer is much more than a website or an app or a presence on social media. We believe that people who share our commitment to open dialogue can shape the future. We believe in the old-fashioned idea that people coming together to meet face-to-face can be magical.

So, we invite you to join us at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. We will bring together authors, readers and supporters to discuss issues relevant to our times, get to know each other and brainstorm about how we can be better citizens in these trying times. So, bring a friend or two along for a great evening with your local FO° community.

For more than 10 years, Fair Observer has been free, fair and independent. No billionaire owns us, no advertisers control us. We are a reader-supported nonprofit. Unlike many other publications, we keep our content free for readers regardless of where they live or whether they can afford to pay. We have no paywalls and no ads.

In the post-truth era of fake news, echo chambers and filter bubbles, we publish a plurality of perspectives from around the world. Anyone can publish with us, but everyone goes through a rigorous editorial process. So, you get fact-checked, well-reasoned content instead of noise.

We publish 2,500+ voices from 90+ countries. We also conduct education and training programs on subjects ranging from digital media and journalism to writing and critical thinking. This doesn’t come cheap. Servers, editors, trainers and web developers cost money.
Please consider supporting us on a regular basis as a recurring donor or a sustaining member.
