General Overview and Mission

MJJR.net is not affiliated with, nor endorsed by any official Michael Jackson Web site or service.

Michael Jackson Repository ("MJJR.net") is an educational entertainment site and fan community which serves to produce and archive news and information of or relating to musical superstar Michael Jackson. The content provided by MJJR.net--both released and forthcoming--spans primarily from the late-1960s through present day and ranges from transcripts of speeches and interviews, to news about musical releases and accomplishments, to civil and criminal trial information, to other areas of interest. In addition to summarizations and information gathered chiefly from third party sources, MJJR.net also produces exclusive and detailed reports across a wide variety of related topics.

MJJR.net strives to present only true and accurate information to its visitors unless otherwise stated (i.e., a rumor, a joke, or an intentionally fictitious piece of work). Much of the information residing on the MJJR.net site is derived from multiple third party sources and agencies. Even so, MJJR.net makes no warranty as to the validity of any claims presented within the site and--as with any individual news carrier--visitors are advised to use the information available on MJJR.net with discretion.
