	Sourcewatch's Path to 911 article \| TPMCafe
		Sourcewatch generally is perceived to be center/left politically (there are exceptions, as verifiable facts is a predominate intent of the site, and there are many editors whose work cannot be easily tagged within the political linearity), which was originally started as a media watch wikiweb.
		SourceWatch is the proud host of Congresspedia, a "citizen's encyclopedia of the U.S. Congress" and a joint project of the Center for Media and Democracy and the new Sunlight Foundation.
		Sourcewatch members noticed structural problems in wiki-styled knowledge base implementations before many of the publications pointing out wikipedia's inherent problems were created, and took steps early in an attempt to not be a vector for disinformation dispersal on the web.

		SourceWatch also includes profiles on think tanks, industry-funded organizations and industry-friendly experts that work to influence public opinion and public policy on behalf of corporations, governments and special interests.
		SourceWatch began as the "Disinfopedia" in February 2003.

	Poynter Online - E-Media Tidbits
		Sourcewatch, begun in 2003 as Disinfopedia, is an outgrowth of the nonprofit Center for Media and Democracy, which also produces the quarterly journal PR Watch and hosts the citizen journalism experiment Congresspedia.
		A good example of Sourcewatch's work is its April 2006 report on VNRs, Fake TV News: Widespread and Undisclosed, which documented how a sampling of VNRs for clients ranging from General Moters to Intel were broadcast in dozens and dozens of cases with no disclosure of their source to viewers.
		Sourcewatch also provides a page for whistleblowers to reveal such practices at their own stations.

	WorkingForChange-Sleuths of spin
		Rampton maintains that SourceWatch "is an example of media democracy in action -- an information source that is truly 'of, by and for the people' who use it.
		One problem it is solving is that by harnessing the investigative power of hundreds of citizen journalists, we are finally able to keep track of the myriad of industry front groups, PR firms, lobbyists, and anti-environmental PR campaigns that exist and are created every day.
		SourceWatch has been a great success in its first two years, yet it is just starting to take off.

	Jennifer Marohasy: SourceWatch Needs Watching
		Posted by jennifer, at 11:41 AM SourceWatch gives the impression it's an honest organisation keeping an eye on individuals funded by industry involved in public relations and that "Unlike some other wikis, SourceWatch has a policy of strict referencing, and is overseen by a paid editor".
		Posted by: Luke at July 4, 2006 10:37 PM Sourcewatch deserves a passing note, but doesn't merit "watching." All it does is dedicate a website almost exclusively to the notion that ad hominem argumentation is not only valid, but virtuous as well.
		Sourcewatch has nothing to do with any sort of virtue, but is rather, a malicious vice writ large.
