October 2 - An ITN journalist emailed AMW about our monitoring study entitled "The British Media & Israel's Capital," saying: "Thanks for this...very interesting."
October 2 - As requested, AMW published an article by Greg Philo of the Glasgow University Media Group which "shows how public debate on political issues is narrowed on the most influential media because of the absence of critical voices - whether the issue is the financial crisis or world conflicts such as in Israel/Palestine. New polling evidence from YouGov and the GUMG suggests that this is not at all what the public wants." The article had been rejected by the Guardian.
