CAMPAIN stands for:
Campaign Against
Misrepresentation in Public Affairs,
Information and the News
We founded CAMPAIN in 2021 at sheer frustration about the poor media coverage of important topics. Issues such as BREXIT, refugees and asylum seekers, global warming and minorities are routinely covered in such a way as to skew public attitudes. Instead of helping us reach sustainable solutions, this exacerbates the problems we face.
While we aim to call out misrepresentation wherever and whenever it occurs, events beginning in October 23 keep us concentrated on Israel-Palestine. As Caitlin Johnson says: The West's support for Israel is the No. 1 threat to free speech.
It's time to hold the Jewish Establishment to account
CAMPAIN has drafted an Open Letter to Ephraim Mirvis, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew Congregations, seriously questioning his stance.
We don’t beat about the bush but point out the problematic nature of his support for Israel and condemnation of those who dare denounce the slaughter of Palestinians. We also question his ability to represent the diversity of Jews in the UK.
Our members – a diverse bunch from several religions and none – were already outraged with the Church of England's 100-year silence about the ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
With 26 seats in the House of Lords, it enjoys a privileged position at the heart of the British state. It has moderated its stance since we started campaigning, but needs to do much more to hold HMG to account. Join our protest to the general Synod - outside York Minster at 10.30 am next Sunday, July 13th.

Heroes and rogues of the British news media
We can count more heroes than rogues, but this does not mean British journalism is heroic. Most media misconduct is carried out silently, by journalists who self-censor or fail to publish stuff that challenges the editorial line of their newspaper or broadcaster. Here, we cite a few key examples that may provide insight into the British media scene.
We apologise to the many heroes we have not cited. Let us know your comments HERE (link to ‘contact us’)
