SourceWatch - Your guide to the names behind the news
SourceWatch is a collaborative project of the Center for Media and Democracy to produce a directory of the people, organizations and issues shaping the public agenda. A primary purpose of SourceWatch is documenting the PR and propaganda activities of public relations firms and public relations professionals engaged in managing and manipulating public perception, opinion and policy. SourceWatch 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 a paid editor.
Among the various elements of Sourcewatch are:
- SourceWatch’s Election Protection Wiki -- A non-partisan, non-profit collaboration of "citizens activists and researchers" building a resource for reports of voter suppression and election fraud activities. Includes links to relevant newspaper articles and a variety of topics, from absentee voting to ACORN to student voting rights, voter roll purges and more.
- Congresspedia.org -- A joint project with the non-partisan Sunlight Foundation and The Center for Media and Democracy, Congresspedia focuses on the congressional races, again with non-partisan emphasis featuring candidate profiles, election coverage, and local blogs for each state.
