Revision as of 20:59, 21 November 2010
Just Journalism (JJ - Company Number: 06345885) is a pro-Israel media flak group which aims to 'promote accurate and responsible reporting about Israel in the British media.' The domain name was registered on 26 July 2007 by Debra Wise[1] and a holding page was in existence between at least 12 December 2007 and 15 March 2008. The website seems to have gone live at some point between 15 March and 18 April 2008.[2][3] Its first reports on news items were on 'Channel 4, March 7 2008 by Jonathan Rugman', 'Tensions that set off a rebellion The Times, March 8 2008' and 'Hamas's battle for hearts and minds The Economist, March 27 2008'. It had posted 8 reports of alleged anti-Israel bias by 18 April 2008.[3] JJ publishes daily commentary on the media coverage of Israel and it produces longer reports on particular themes, e.g., the coverage of Israel at 60, the assault on Gaza, and the Freedom Flotilla massacre. JJ's main pressure tactic is to accuse media institutions of a lack of 'balance,' demanding that more Israelis be given a chance to voice their opinions. JJ's reports are mainly carried in the Jewish and Israeli press, and by pro-Israel bloggers like Melanie Phillips and Harry's Place.

In November 2010, Just Journalism published an 'study' which purports to expose 'an entirely one-sided, fringe narrative, paid for by British taxpayers’ money via Arts Council funding.' The report adds: 'Despite Britain’s alliance with Israel, public money has been used to pay extreme opponents of Israel to pen articles demonising the Jewish state.'[4] Daniel Johnson, the editor of Standpoint magazine who earlier wrote an attack on London Review editor Mary-Kay Wilmers, is (as of 2010) a member of JJ's advisory board.[5]
