The MRC published MediaWatch
as a monthly newsletter from 1988 through March, 1998, when it
switched to bi-weekly production. The MRC ceased publication of MediaWatch
in May of 1999 in order to concentrate resources on more timely
analysis on our Web site.
MediaWatch was dedicated to
documenting liberal bias in reporting by reviewing news coverage of
political and current events by the television networks, newspapers
and weekly news magazines. Features included a monthly Study or
Review, brief NewsBites, the Janet Cooke Award dissecting the most
biased story of the month, the Revolving Door which tracked those
moving between media and politics and On the Bright Side, a look at an
unusually balanced story presenting facts ignored by the rest of the
media.
