Media Watch Organizations

For this assignment, you should: 1) provide a description of the organization you’ve chosen to study: its mission (reason/s for doing what it does), funding sources; examples of its work; and 2) assess the importance/significance of the work of the organization, and give your impressions of the accuracy and reliability of the reports they provide.

One of the eight organizations listed below that do not have asterisks (*) next to them may be selected for Assignment #2. The ones with asterisks are listed because they may be helpful as secondary sources.
