		+	==Ties to the RICU==
		+	A report by the Muslim-focused advocacy group [[CAGE]] released in May 2016 alleges that the [[Research, Information and Communications Unit]] (RICU), the Home Office's 'strategic communications' body, works through Breakthrough Media to covertly promote counter extremist narratives. <ref> Ben Hayes and Asim Qureshi, [https://cage.ngo/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/CAGE_WACI.pdf 'We are completely independent'], ''CAGE'', accessed 25 January 2017. </ref>
		+
		+	As part of the government's [[PREVENT]] counter-radicalisation programme, Breakthrough Media reportedly receives funding from the Home Office to produce digital material (e.g. films, Facebook profiles, websites) in order to 'influence online conversations by being embedded within target communities via a network of moderate organisations that are supportive of it’s [sic] goals'. These materials are then 'hosted' by civil society groups and 'grassroots' community organisations, in order to gain credibility of independence. <ref> Ian Cobain, Alice Ross, Rob Evans and Mona Mahmood, [https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2016/may/02/inside-ricu-the-shadowy-propaganda-unit-inspired-by-the-cold-war Inside Ricu, the shadowy propaganda unit inspired by the cold war], ''The Guardian'', 2 May 2016, accessed 16 January 2017. </ref>
		+
		+	The report alleges that the government determined the editorial line of several multimedia campaigns produced by Breakthrough Media. Additionally, the communications company is protected by the [[Official Secrets Act]], which staff of Breakthrough Media are required to sign, thereby shielding its full activities from public scrutiny and disclosure.
