MediaPowerMonitor.com was founded in 2015 by a group of writers concerned about the state of independent journalism and the thorny relations between media and the powers that be. In our collective experience, we have met and worked with hundreds of writers, journalists and researchers across the globe who closely follow these issues. They hail from all kinds of nations, small and big, poor and ric

h, racist and tolerant, religious and atheist, hot and cold. They know who really has power and influence in the media, who wields control over journalists and who dictates editorial decisions. We launched this website because so many important stories about independent journalism and its foes (or friends) never get published or are only touched upon in comments posted on social networks, or after hours in the local pub. We have the luxury to write freely about all these sensitive issues because no big or nasty government or business controls us. And we hope they will never will. Photo: Unsplash
