About Accuracy in Media

Our Mission

Accuracy in Media is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that uses investigative journalism and cultural activism to expose corruption and hold bad public policy actors accountable.

Background

Accuracy in Media was founded in 1969 by Reed Irvine to expose the growing threat of media bias. At the time, tens of millions of Americans trusted legacy broadcasters like Walter Cronkite—despite reports that often distorted or contradicted the truth.

Take the Tet Offensive. U.S. forces decisively defeated the North Vietnamese, but Cronkite went on air to falsely declare the war “unwinnable.” No matter one’s opinion on Vietnam, the American people deserved facts—not propaganda.

Accuracy in Media challenged misinformation in the press for decades and played a key role in changing how Americans viewed the so-called “mainstream media.” Our early activism laid the groundwork for an entire ecosystem of alternative media voices.

But the battlefield has changed.

Today, the most powerful forces spreading radical ideology aren’t just journalists—they’re public school administrators, bureaucrats, celebrities, and tech platforms. From classrooms to corporate boardrooms, radical ideology has embedded itself in every corner of our culture.

That’s why Accuracy in Media has evolved, using investigative journalism and citizen-led activism to expose government corruption, public policy failures, and radical activists. Our goal isn’t just to report the truth—it’s to change laws, shift culture, and hold bad actors accountable.
