Just Journalism Newsletter.

Just Journalism aims to promote accurate and responsible reporting about Israel in the British media. Core journalistic principles are regularly being compromised, and that reporting is often far from impartial, accurate or balanced. This makes it harder for viewers and readers to develop an educated and informed opinion of Israel and the Middle East. Just Journalism’s mission is to heighten awareness of the fundamental journalistic principles underlying the media’s responsibility to the public in this area. Just Journalism is an independent and non-profit-making organisation.
