The Role of CAMERA and the Media Bias Against Israel
Douglas Sandoval will speak for about half an hour at the Kiddush lunch on April 15th, 2023 on the Role of CAMERA and the Media Bias Against Israel. The presentation will cover the history and work of CAMERA as a media-monitoring organization.
- The history of the founding of CAMERA as a research organization devoted to promoting accurate and balanced coverage of Israel and the Middle East.
- How CAMERA fosters rigorous reporting while educating news consumers about Middle East issues and the role of the media.
- The methods that CAMERA employs to monitor, document, and review Middle East coverage. For example, staffers directly contact reporters, editors, and publishers concerning inaccurate coverage, offering factual information to refute errors.
- The impact of CAMERA’s fact-checking, measured in printed retraction statements and corrections.
- His presentation also deals with the question of whether there is a need for an organization devoted to monitoring news agencies for false reports on Israel. Is it related to anti-semitism?
- How Israelis and Palestinians are presented in the Media: Are the Israelis accurately falsely or accurately portrayed in the media? Are the Palestinians accurately or falsely portrayed in the media?
