WE TRACK CORPORATIONS AND PR SPIN

The Center for Media and Democracy publishes SourceWatch to track corporations.

We provide well-documented information about corporate public relations (PR)
campaigns, including corporate front groups, people who "front" corporate
campaigns, and PR operations.

Please visit SourceWatch's sister websites EXPOSEDbyCMD, to find our
investigations and original documents we release, PRWatch, to read our original
reporting, and ALECexposed, to see our award-winning investigation of a
corporate front group where corporate lobbyists actually vote as equals with
elected legislators on "model" legislation to change our rights.

Also, please check out the in-depth research from around the world by our
partner projects within SourceWatch: Coal Swarm, and FrackSwarm.

PRAISE FOR SOURCEWATCH!

"As a journalist frequently on the receiving end of various PR campaigns, some
of them based on disinformation, others front groups for undisclosed interests,
[CMD's SourceWatch] is an invaluable resource."
—Michael Pollan, author of The Botany of Desire

"Thanks for all your help. There's no way I could have done my piece on big PR
and global warming without CMD [the Center for Media and Democracy] and your
fabulous websites."
—Zoe Cormier, journalist, Canada

"The troublemakers at the Center for Media and Democracy, for example, point to
dozens of examples of "greenwashing," which they defined as the "unjustified
appropriation of environmental virtue by a company, an industry, a government or
even a non-government organization to sell a product, a policy" or rehabilitate
an image. In the center's view, many enterprises labeled green don't deserve the
name.
—Jack Shafer, "Green Is the New Yellow: On the excesses of 'green' journalism,"
Slate.

"The dearth of information on the [U.S.] government [lobbying] disclosure forms
about the other business-backed coalitions comes in stark contrast to the data
about them culled from media reports, websites, press releases and Internal
Revenue Service documents and posted by SourceWatch, a website that tracks
advocacy groups."
—Jeanne Cummings, 'New disclosure reports lack clarity," Politico.

"The folks at the Center for Media and Democracy have done incredible work
documenting fake grassroots ("astroturf") groups. Here, they're helping protect
the rights of all Americans to exercise their right to vote. They are completely
non-partisan. These guys are the real deal."


—Craig Newmark, craigslist
