The MediaWise Trust

ADVICE, INFORMATION, RESEARCH AND TRAINING ON MEDIA ETHICS

MediaWise (formerly PressWise), is an independent charity, set up in 1993 by 'victims of media abuse', supported by concerned journalists, media lawyers and politicians in the UK. We operate on the principle that press freedom is a responsibility exercised by journalists on behalf of the public, and that the public have a right to know when the media publish inaccurate information.

We employ media professionals with experience in all parts of the industry, and have established an international reputation for our imaginative approach to tackling media ethics issues through consultancies, projects and training.
