The Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America (CAMERA) is a Boston-based non-profit organization founded in 1982 in response to perceived biases in coverage of Israel's 1982 Lebanon incursion, particularly by The Washington Post. As a pro-Israel advocacy and media-watchdog group, CAMERA monitors and critiques media coverage of Israel and the Middle East, focusing on combating what it perceives as anti-Israel bias and pro-Muslim/pro-Palestinian bias while promoting balanced reporting. The organization investigates journalistic inaccuracies, pressures news outlets for corrections, maintains a database of media errors, and educates the public on media distortions through research reports, alerts to subscribers, books, articles, and campus programs that train students in media literacy from a pro-Israel viewpoint. CAMERA has been led by Executive Director Andrea Levin for much of its history and receives funding from prominent pro-Israel donors and foundations. As a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity, it emphasizes fostering accurate journalism without direct political lobbying, though its work intersects with broader pro-Israel advocacy networks. While praised by supporters for holding media accountable, CAMERA has faced criticism from journalists and advocacy groups for allegedly functioning as a pro-Israel propaganda outlet that selectively targets coverage unfavorable to Israel and sometimes employs aggressive tactics like mass letter-writing campaigns. The organization continues to operate actively with a membership base supporting its research and monitoring efforts.
