HonestReporting (also Honest Reporting or honestreporting.com) is a watchdog organisation that monitors the media for bias against Israel. The organisation has affiliates in the United States, UK, Canada, Italy, and Brazil.
History
HonestReporting was founded by a group of students in England in 2000 with the assistance of Aish HaTorah.[1]
Rabbi Ephraim Shore joined HonestReporting soon afterwards.[citation needed] In late 2001, Shore organized an independent USA board of directors and established HonestReporting as a registered non-profit 501(c)3 organization.[citation needed]
Activities
Film production
Honest Reporting, in addition to media watch activities, produced a documentary discussing the Jewish-Muslim conflict in association with The Clarion Fund. This film was entitled Relentless: The Struggle for Peace in the Middle East. Interest in the video exceeded expectations and the documentary is now marketed independently of HonestReporting. Recently, the same team produced a film titled Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West. Honest Reporting's subsequent videos include What Really Happened?, which deals with the al-Durrah affair.
On-line activism
Honest Reporting offers downloads of the Internet Megaphone. "You’ll be the first to know – and respond, to Media Bias, and Israel Activism issues as they occur – powered by Collactive."[2]
