Catalog of
Educational Materials
Tools for Informing Your Community

which can be distributed as widely as possible in
communities around the country. We recommend
ordering or printing numerous copies and giving these
out on campuses; to friends, neighbors, and colleagues;

Media Report Cards

If Americans Knew has conducted a number of studies on the accuracy
of mainstream news coverage of Israel-Palestine. The fact that the
media have been criticized by partisans on both sides of the issue has
made it difficult for the largely non-aligned American public to evaluate
the quality of the reporting they are receiving on this issue. Our reports
can be read online. Though we do not keep them in stock, we are also
able to send out copies of the reports.
