About
Since 2001, Media Lens have been describing how mainstream newspapers and broadcasters operate as a propaganda system for the elite interests that dominate modern society. The costs of their disinformation in terms of human and animal suffering, and environmental breakdown, are incalculable. Media Lens show how news and commentary are ‘filtered’ by the media’s profit-orientation, by its dependence on advertisers, parent companies, wealthy owners and official news sources..

Media Lens check the media’s version of events against credible facts and opinion provided by journalists, academics and specialist researchers and then publish both versions, together with commentary, in free Media Alerts and invite readers to deliver their verdict both to themselves and to mainstream journalists through the email addresses provided in ’Suggested Action’ at the end of each alert. They urge correspondents to adopt a polite, rational and respectful tone at all times – strongly opposing all abuse and personal attack. Media Lens also publish Cogitations, exploring related personal and philosophical themes.

In 2007, Media Lens was awarded the Gandhi Foundation International Peace Prize.
