    Second draft

    This site, The Second Draft, is worth a look. The authors - historians, as I understand it - believe:

    In this age of globalization, the media has unprecedented influence on the way we see the world. And yet, whether out of misplaced good intentions, unconscious agendas and predispositions, or unwarranted faith in false information, they can get the story dramatically wrong. Therefore, we want to revisit and critique journalism's "first draft of history", and hopefully produce a more accurate second one.

    Their first article examines the media's coverage of Israel/Palestine.

    They claim to be neither left nor right in their stance - most media monitoring groups I know have tended to be one or the other, so we'll see how this develops. Aside from what they say on their site, there is a further article in History News Network on The Second Draft by one of the contributors.
