CAMERA is a non-partisan media-monitoring and research organization devoted to promoting accurate and balanced coverage of Israel and the Middle East. Founded in 1982, the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis is a media-monitoring, research and membership organization devoted to promoting accurate and balanced coverage of Israel and the Middle East. CAMERA fosters rigorous reporting, while educating news consumers about Middle East issues and the role of the media. Because public opinion ultimately shapes public policy, distorted news coverage that misleads the public can be detrimental to sound policy making. A non-partisan organization, CAMERA takes no position with regard to American or Israeli political issues or with regard to ultimate solutions to the Arab-Israeli conflict. CAMERA reviews periodicals, television and film productions for misrepresentations, falsehoods and distortions about Israel, researches the facts regarding these questionable accounts and then contacts the responsible journalists, editors and producers, prodding them to correct the errors.
