media watch Global : an answer to the media manipulation

Media Watch Gobal is an international association which aims at producing and communicating information in order to guarantee the right to information of all citizens around the world. MWG is supporting fairness in the world of media.

Where information is concentrated in fewer hands, Media Watch Global has emerged as an opposition to this new "superpower. The media are becoming increasingly subject to manipulations and conditions from two fronts:
-traditional political power
-and more insidious the market.

It is obvious that the media exist because they are commercially viable, but more and more they are beholden to economic pressures and editorial advertisement. Two basic rights are being eroded:
-journalists'rights to perform their duties without political or economical constrictions.
-and citizens'rights to acess to an accurate information.

MWG does not aim to exercise censorship, but to educate on better values of information. The media is known as the fourth power, the power to oppose government decisions that would have harmful effects on people. The media no longer have this power and therefore MWG intends to be the "fifth power", and to oppose the superpower of global media. They say : "Information and communication will belong to the people. This is the century when citizenry will regain ownership of the truth." The association encourages the creation of national chapters to whom the name “Media Watch Global” will be granted.
