The Mideast Dig, Inc. Details
Mideast Dig is an independent, nonprofit news organization with a mission to vastly elevate the downward spiral in journalism standards on the Israeli-Palestinian and other Middle East conflicts, and related topics. Among them are Iran; the financing of global terrorism; Islamic extremism; organized crime; and the boycott-Israel movement.We will accomplish that mission by producing groundbreaking, hard-hitting investigative reporting on significant topics in the Middle East that do not receive adequate coverage — or that are entirely ignored by our big-media colleagues. We will also vigorously critique articles and broadcast segments that fail to meet long-established professional standards, especially when those failures are ignored or swept under the rug by news editors. As the late U.S. Supreme Court Louis Brandeis so aptly put it a century ago: "Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants." In the best traditions of investigative reporting, "The Dig" will drill beneath the surface in the Middle East for underlying realities. True investigative reporting is not just reporting about facts, but reporting the truth about the facts. The need is dire, especially given the increasing importance to the world of the entire Middle East. However, when it comes to media coverage of the region, it's hardly a secret that the truth is often consigned to making cameo appearances. Many large, respected news organizations produce inaccurate or superficial stories for an assortment of unacceptable reasons — such as outright bias; laziness; fear; peer pressure; incompetence; inexperience; ignorance of the region's history; an absence of investigative reporters in the field; and the commission of the omission of vital information.Funding permitting, we will be multimedia and multilingual. We believe that for any real and sustainable reform to happen in an industry — e.g. law, finance, media — it can only come about from within that profession.
