For all our HonestReporting friends in Australia and New Zealand, we are happy to announce the launch of our new initiative to fight anti-Israel bias in the media based “Down Under.”
For years we have heard from readers in Australia and New Zealand that there is a great need to take on the anti-Israel bias of the media there. Sometimes, we have featured these stories here on our main global news site. But often, there are biased stories that we believe would be of most interest to those directly affected, and that we should provide those subscribers with a separate HonestReporting Down Under communique.
HonestReporting CEO Joe Hyams remarks:
HonestReporting already has a significant subscriber base in the Australasian region. We owe it to those supporters of Israel and media consumers who have expressed their concern at increasing anti-Israel media bias, to engage more intensively in this arena.
This marks just the first phase of HonestReporting’s continued expansion over the coming year.
If you would like to sign up to receive our special “Down Under” coverage, please do so below. You will still continue to receive our regular bulletins and the Israeli Daily News Stream (IDNS) if you are currently subscribed.
If you live in Australia or New Zealand and see biased coverage of Israel, you can make sure we are aware of it by contacting us through our Red Alert page.
In case you missed them, below are our latest articles on anti-Israel bias in the Australian media:
- Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s “Retaliation” (We were able to secure a correction on this article after we contacted ABC.)
- Australian ABC News Headline Fail
The following article was cross-posted on our website because it documented a very important success story of Pro-Israel activists challenging Radio New Zealand:
These examples show how we can make a serious difference when we demand accurate coverage of Israel. Please join us in this initiative.
Thank you.
