The finalists
MediaLens
Every email and addition to this website is fully worth its weight in gold. Elrond Burrell
Media Lens has introduced a new accountability to the media in the UK. Well-researched and powerful emails inspire thousands of readers around the country to email and complain about corporate distortion of the media. This is vital as half-truths and hidden agendas in press releases, corporate-run or sponsored associations and government spin machines now dominate the news. A fantastic example of how to use the internet to empower ordinary members of the public to fight the sanitisation of information that increasingly prevents them from knowing what is being done with their taxes and the consequences of corporate actions here and abroad.
