Arab-run media group to combat anti-Israel bias

Egyptian-born British journalist Adel Darwish told The Jerusalem Post last week that his new media watchdog organization, Just Journalism, is gearing up to hold the British print and broadcast media accountable for biased coverage of Israel.

According to the Just Journalism website, "core journalistic principles are regularly being compromised, and...reporting is often far from impartial, accurate or balanced" in British media coverage of Israel and the Middle East.

As such, viewers are left unable to develop educated and informed opinions of Israel and its role in the Middle East conflict, explained Darwish.

The long-time journalist stressed that Just Journalism does not exist to advance a pro-Israel agenda, but said that he and others like him can no longer passively sit by as the mainstream media repeatedly violates the very principles it claims to uphold.

Just Journalism's first full-length report is due to be published in May. Their website can be found at:

Is "just" being used as adjective or as an adverb... Bruce

Bruce I don`t know, i didn`t name this group , go to their site and make up your own opinion . I have had my own `experience` with BBC. When i didn`t answer the Expected answers they just put my photo in the article, and not MY POSITIVE answers about Co-operative work between Arabs and Jews. mirjam

Sorry Miriam, I thought it was something to do with April the first (All Fool's Day) and that I'd missed the point. Bruce

--------- Yeahhhh , Maybe i should have changed the subject line , but to us many of the British media reports look very fitting for april first. mirjam
