<tagcloud style="background: #FFFFDF;"> min_count=100 exclude=browse </tagcloud> Welcome to Spinprofiles—your guide to networks of power, lobbying and deceptive PR. Spinprofiles is a collaborative venture initiated by Spinwatch in collaboration with Lobbywatch, GM Watch Red Star Research and Corporate Watch, but put into effect by a wide variety of volunteers and independent researchers. Spinprofiles documents the PR and propaganda activities of public relations firms and public relations professionals engaged in managing and manipulating public perception, opinion and policy. Spinprofiles also includes profiles on think tanks, industry-funded organizations and industry-friendly experts that work to influence public opinion and public policy on behalf of corporations, governments and special interests. Over time, SourceWatch has broadened to include others involved in public debates including media outlets, journalists and government agencies. Unlike some other wikis, SourceWatch has a policy of strict referencing, and is overseen by an editor and several Associate Portal editors. Spinprofiles has 19,154 articles. Test, Test
