JNS.org – The media watchdog organization CAMERA (Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) announced Monday that it will expand its Israel operations with the opening of a new facility in Jerusalem.

CAMERA said its Jerusalem hub would further the group’s goal of “promoting accurate coverage of Israel and the Middle East in the North American, European and Israeli media.”

“The establishment of the Jerusalem office is the natural next step in the ongoing growth of CAMERA’s global efforts,” said Andrea Levin, president and executive director of CAMERA.

In its new office, CAMERA will be situated near the Israeli Government Press Office and will join its affiliates Presspectiva (www.presspectiva.org.il), a Hebrew-language media monitoring website launched in 2010, and CiF Watch (www.cifwatch.com), which monitorsThe Guardian and other British media outlets.
