It also advocates for press freedom as well as industry quality, transparency and accountability. It is a registered charity and is not aligned with any political party or media company.
Activities [ edit ]
Media Standards Trust hosts debates about standards in the news media,[2] conducts research into areas it considers of concern, hosts online projects, and formerly sponsored the Orwell Prize .
Projects [ edit ]
Journalisted.com [ edit ]
In 2007 the MST founded journalisted.com. The site has an archive of over four million news articles and a database of the work, biographical and contact information of several thousand journalists .[3] The site scrapes the news articles from several national and local publications, and sorts them according to byline . The database is utilized by the MST for conducting research into matters relating to news coverage; a weekly newsletter is published summarizing contemporary trends in news.[4]
By December 2018 the site had been taken offline.[5]
Hacked Off [ edit ]
In light of the June 2011 allegations of the News of the World journalists phone hacking into the mobile phone voice mail of murder victim Milly Dowler , on 5 July 2011 in partnership with Brian Cathcart and other concerned individuals, MST formed the "Hacked Off" campaign, registering the site hackinginquiry.org, and campaigning for a public inquiry into phone hacking. The campaign was directly supported by Norman Fowler , Onora O'Neill , Francis Wheen , Tom Watson MP, Ben Goldacre , Baroness Helena Kennedy, Sir David Bell , D. D. Guttenplan , Roy Greenslade , Ian Hargreaves , John Lloyd , Isabel Hilton , Ian Jack , John Pilger , John Prescott , Richard Peppiatt, Andreas Whittam Smith , J. K. Rowling ,[6] and others. Actor Hugh Grant supported the campaign and became a public spokesperson, appearing on the BBC television programmes Question Time and Newsnight .[7] The campaign was criticised by Lewis Page in The Register , who described it as a "secretive pressure group ... of wealthy and powerful individuals and celebrities ... which has successfully campaigned for state control of the media".[8] In 2012, Hacked Off became independent of the Media Standards Trust.[9] Hacked Off produces a magazine, Free & Fearless .[10]
