    Arab Media Watch is a UK-based organisation that feels Arabs have long been misrepresented, under-represented and negatively stereotyped in Western media and film. Britain is no exception. They believe that the advent of the internet and satellite broadcasting provides a unique opportunity to educate and inform public opinion and that AMW has filled a vital niche in striving for objective British coverage of Arab issues, be they political, economic, cultural or social. Main activities include: - monitoring and analysing the British media (there is a BBC Watch group) as well as helping journalists and editors with research, information and interviews, and producing monitoring studies of coverage in newspapers, magazines, TV, radio and websites. The website also gives listings of relevant forthcoming and previously broadcast radio and television programmes.

    The Scottish Broadcasting Commission was established in autumn 2007 by the First Minister of the Scottish Parliament to conduct an independent investigation into the current state of television production and broadcasting in Scotland and define a strategic way forward for the industry, looking particularly at the economic, cultural and democratic importance of broadcasting to a modern, outward looking Scotland and its creative industries. The Commission’s final report was published in September 2008. One of its recommendations was that Scottish Ministers report back annually for the following three years to the Scottish Parliament on their progress in implementing the SBC’s recommendations. Progress for the years 2009, 2010 and 2011 are available on this site.
