Mediachannel.org has launched a “Tell the Truth About the War” campaign, calling for better and more consistent coverage of the Iraq war. It is partnering with other media groups to organize a Media Day of War Coverage Protest on March 21, 2006. It will take part during a week of organizing and activism marking the third anniversary of the war. Danny Schechter writes, “If the war is to end, the coverage has to change. We need to press the press and move the media.”
