In a world where information is concentrated in fewer hands and global media increasingly beholden to political and market interests, Media Watch Global has emerged as a voice of opposition to this new "superpower"

MWG is dedicated to supporting fairness and accuracy in the world of information. The media are becoming increasingly subject to manipulations and conditions from two fronts: traditional political power and, more insidious, the market. It is obvious that the media exist because they are commercially viable, but more and more they are beholden to economic pressures and editorial advertisement. Media owners, meanwhile, engage in a power play with the political establishment and political interests. And there is a dramatic concentration of media in fewer and fewer hands, which homogenise information as part of an international system.

Two basic rights are being eroded: journalists' right to perform their duties without constrictions, political or economical; and citizens' rights to fair and accurate information. MWG does not aim to exercise censorship, but seeks to educate on better values of information.

The media for a long time were the resource of the citizenry, known as the fourth power, the power to oppose government decisions that would have harmful effects on people. The media no longer have this power and therefore MWG intends to be the "fifth power", whose main objective is to oppose thesuperpower of global media.

Information and communication will belong to the people. This is the century when citizenry will regain ownership of the truth.
