Just Journalism was a UK-based research organisation and pressure group,〔("Pressure group must keep up pressure" ), ''Jewish Chronicle'', 9 July 2009〕 which commented on Israel and the Middle East. Its stated goals were to focus "on how Israel and Middle East issues are reported in the UK media."〔(Mission Statement ) ''Just Journalism'' website〕 The organisation published online analyses in response to news stories, reported on "long-term trends", and opinion pieces for external publications. It was established in the spring of 2008〔 with Michael Weiss as Executive Director. Just Journalism was closely associated with the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), sharing an office with it. When Just Journalism was closed, in September 2011, citing "lack of funds" as the reason, Robin Shepherd, international affairs director of the Henry Jackson Society and a member of Just Journalism's advisory board, said: "This is a great pity and the cause of Israel in Britain will be the poorer for it."〔("Just Journalism forced to close" ), ''Jewish Chronicle'', 22 September 2011〕 ==Output== Just Journalism analysed the British media’s coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as related Middle East topics, such as the Iranian nuclear programme,〔("BBC News Online continues to downplay Iranian threats" ) ''Just Journalism'', 3 December 2009〕 the status of human rights in Arab states,〔("The Guardian marks ten years of Bashar al-Assad’s regime" ) ''Just Journalism'', 16 July 2009〕 and the conditions of Palestinian refugees outside of the West Bank and Gaza.〔("New bill highlights plight of Palestinians in Lebanon" ) ''Just Journalism'', 18 August 2010〕 The organisation also engaged in "events and activities" about "journalistic accountability",〔 such as the December 2010 conference, titled "Squaring the Circle? Britain and the De-legitimisation of Israel" and organised jointly with the Henry Jackson Society, which took place in London.〔(Event announcement ) ''Just Journalism'' website〕 The event, co-sponsored by Bank Hapoalim and ''The Jewish Chronicle'', featured as panelists academic, lawyer and bioethicist Ruth Deech; ''Observer'' columnist Nick Cohen; Israeli Ambassador to the United Kingdom Ron Prosor; ''Times'' editor Daniel Finkelstein; and Friends of Israel Initiative Executive Director Rafael Bardají.〔("Herzliya Conference" ) Event announcement, Friends of Israel Initiative〕 It was chaired by ''Jewish Chronicle'' editor Stephen Pollard.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Just Journalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
