Media Workers Against the War
Media Workers Against the War is a group of concerned journalists and media staff who campaign against the “war on terror” and against the racism directed against Muslims in consequence of the war.
Set up by campaigning journalists John Pilger and Paul Foot in 1990 to campaign against the first Gulf War, Media Workers Against the War believes British and US troops are making the situation in Iraq and Afghanistan worse and should leave immediately.
Media Workers Against the War believes that much mainstream media coverage of the war on terror adopts the “common sense” assumptions of the British and American governments, fails to subject those assumptions to critical examination, and consistently underplays and under-reports the anti-war movement — the largest radical protest movement this country has ever seen.
